?NFL teams asking Cardinals about No. 3 draft pick.?

[Greenbacks]

At least six teams have inquired with the Arizona Cardinals about trading up for the third overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
The Cardinals still are mulling whether to move the pick or make it, sources told ESPN.
The Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans are widely projected to select quarterbacks with the first and second overall picks, respectively.
The Cardinals already have Kyler Murray as their franchise quarterback, and therefore have been identified as a potential trade-up partner for other quarterback-needy teams looking to move up in the first round.
Arizona has eight selections in the draft, including the third spot in the second round (No. 34 overall), two picks in the third round (Nos. 66, 96) and at Nos. 105, 168, 180 and 213 overall.
The Cardinals entered free agency with 30 of their players scheduled to hit the open market. Arizona brought back nine of their own and added 11 new free agents.
With the draft closing in, there is still speculation that Arizona could move on from wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who was granted permission to seek a trade on his own, according to reports. Hopkins is scheduled to have a $30.75 million cap hit. A trade would save the Cardinals $8.15 million in cap space but would leave Arizona with $22.6 million in dead money. However, either releasing Hopkins after June 1 or releasing him before that and designating him as a post-June 1 release would save the Cardinals' $19.45 million in cap space.
Arizona isn't unfamiliar to moving in the first round.
In 2018, the Cardinals traded three picks to move up five spots to draft quarterback Josh Rosen. In 2014, the Cardinals moved back from 20th to 27th in exchange for two picks.
Last year, the Cardinals traded their first-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for wide receiver Marquise Brown. It was the first time the Cardinals did not have a first-round pick because of a trade since 1995.
The NFL draft will start Thursday, April 27. Rounds 2 and 3 will take place April 28 and Rounds 4 through 7 will be April 29. The draft will be broadcast on ESPN, ABC and the ESPN App.

Only a very stupid team would trade inside the top 4 this year.

Why can't these teams understand a simple fact. Not every draft has a franchise qb. Just pass. Most of these teams will suck next year anyway.

The Texans may have 2-3 years total in 20 that they havent picked in the top 10. The Bears have Fields so they will suck.

Why do so many mocks have the Lions taking a qb but none have the Bears. Goff was good most of last year. And I think hes like 27ish.

Because teams are stupid! And you’re right they think every year 2-3 franchise QBs are in the draft. Failing to realize without an Oline or decent defense all QBs would suck anyway. Put Pat Mahommes on the Texans last year they win 3-4 more games maybe. Put Purdy a QB 32 teams passed over for 7 reds on the Niners and they win what 10 straight games?

Coaches and GM’s think every year they will be good. They have blinders on. They carry a false sense of hope. Detached from reality.

GM’s have unlimited credit cards of somebody else’s money. So they don’t give a fuck what free agents they sign.

Make GM’s use their own money and watch how quick these stupid contracts go away.

I will mention a team last year before the draft I’d blown up and they could be sitting pretty. The Panthers has a perfect storm! They had pissed away soo much Draft Capital on stupid trades. And had so many holes

I would have traded CMC Burns Thompson Anderson Darnold. Teams like the Packers Chiefs Eagles has multiple rd 1 picks and multiple rd 2 and 3 picks. Those were win now teams. With too much Draft capital. Panthers could have got a haul

Burns to Chiefs on his rookie deal or Eagles would have been easy late Rd 1 and one of their multiple 2’s they had.

CMC to either team for a 2nd and 3rd or future 2nd or 3rd

Thompson to KC GB Phi makes sense along with other teams could have got a 3rd.

Anderson and Darnold for bag of footballs.

At one point last year the panthers had the 4th and 16th highest paid WR’s in the league. Along with a TE who had caught less than 200 yards in 4 straight years who they resigned for 6.5 million a year.

Speaking of stupid and TE’s the patriots in same year signing Smith and Henry held over 38 million in salary cap this year in them two players alone before shipping Smith off. Smith and Henry did absolutely nothing and it was because that dumb ass team paid all that money to use them to block.

This draft nobody is talking about Max Duggan. You wanna olay RPO football and grind then just go get him in Round 4-5.

These experts who rank all these draft picks making big money on teams are nothing but idiots. If they were all so smart then they wouldn’t whiff like they do. Go back and look at first QB taken the past 15 years. Then look who went after them. How do these experts miss so often and with great busts?

If I’m the Arizona Cardinals at 3 I call each team starting with colts. Offer is a 2nd rd pick that’s it. I tell the colts ya got 5 minutes. If you pass I’m on to Seattle for a 2nd. Then Detroit then the raiders.

If they told Indy just a 2nd for 3rd pick they could trade back at least three times and still pick around 18th and have 5 2nd rd picks to fill all the holes on that shot team.

Colts would easily give up 2nd for 3
Titans would easily give up 2nd for 4th
Plenty of teams would give up a 2nd for 11th

Fall back to 25. Draft a player then go into rd 2 with 5 picks.

Fuck that stupid trade chart value BS.

Arizona probably asking for too much in return anyhow

But you guys are right

Some idiot GM will try to trade up for Anthony Richardson or Will Levis
