Over the past two drafts, Cardinals’ GM Monti Ossenfort has been hungry to trade down in order to acquire extra picks. In my opinion, that strategy has given the team added “quantity” at the expense of passing on star “quality.”
Watching The Eagles’ CB Cooper DeJean make a major impact on the team’s outstanding 40-22 rout of the Chiefs is a perfect example.
When the Cardinals were on the clock in the second round many of us here at ROTB were amazed that Cooper DeJean, mocked by some draft gurus as high as #9 in Round 1, was miraculously still on the board.
