Red Sea Report - Will Cardinals Add To Offensive Line Early In NFL Draft?

The NFL Draft is just over two weeks away. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Kyle Vanden Bosch discuss what’s currently going on in draft rooms across the NFL, the potential for the Cardinals to add to the offensive line early in the draft and who might be joining the wide receiver room.

Cardinals Cover 2 - Draft Primer: Offense

Ep. 742 - After a quick debrief on the solar eclipse - or the lack thereof in Arizona - Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman dive into the draft, focusing on the offensive side of the line of scrimmage. The annual draft primer series - a position-by-position look at the Cardinals’ draft needs - begins this week on azcardinals.com. No question wide receiver is the biggest need. The offensive line also is high on the need list. There are only three players: Paris Johnson Jr., Jonah Williams, and Jon Gaines who are signed beyond 2024. What about quarterback? Running back? Tight end? How might Monti Ossenfort address those positions, especially knowing he has - at least right now - 11 total picks in his collection? Time will tell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 - The Need At Wide Receiver

Ep. 741 - It is the Cardinals’ biggest need, especially on offense. Wide receiver. And specifically, a true No. 1 receiver, or at worst, a receiver who can be paired with Michael Wilson. The wide receiver talk is getting louder because of, not only the need, but where the Cardinals select, which prospects were reportedly in town for visits, and the blockbuster trade between the Bills and Texans. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss how the Cardinals might address wide receiver, whether that’s early or late in the first round. Also, might we see a repeat performance out of Monti Ossenfort in terms of a trade down and then a move back up? Last year’s draft room video resurfaced on social media this week. Why?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Underground - The Path Of Draft Totality

Sure, the draft is still a few weeks away, but in the end, that’s where the conversation is going to drift. So here Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban, and Dani Sureck discuss the quarterbacks rising/falling/holding firm in the draft talk, what teams might want to draft a QB (and perhaps talk to the Cardinals about a trade), why any trade would be unlikely before draft night, way too many mock drafts, defining “generational,” the Cardinals’ biggest roster needs right now, the importance of nailing the first-round picks, Cheeto the dog and Paul’s obsession with the coming eclipse.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Red Sea Report - Cardinals Solidify Their Backup Plan

One snap. That’s what separates a backup quarterback from being thrust into the spotlight of a starting role. The Cardinals solidified their QB room recently when they acquired Desmond Ridder via trade with the Atlanta Falcons. Ridder, a 15-game starter in 2023, has the experience teams crave in their backup signal caller. Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Rob Fredrickson discuss Ridder’s arrival in the desert. Plus, thoughts on the future of linebacker Zaven Collins and the depth of the wide receiver position. It’s likely the Cardinals will take a receiver or two in the NFL Draft. But at what point?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 - Free Agency Takes A Backseat

Ep. 740 - It’s been a bit quiet on the free-agent front. Yes, the Cardinals are paying attention to those players still on the market - heck, they may even have an interest in signing one, two, or more of them - but, for the moment, their focus has shifted to the draft, which is less than four weeks away. Regardless of if it’s free agency or the draft, there are needs that must be addressed. Edge rusher may be the biggest. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss how the Cardinals may want to strengthen the position, including Year 2 improvement from both Zaven Collins and BJ Ojulari. Plus, when it comes to the top three wide receivers in this year’s draft class, are our expectations for their projected success too high?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 - Bring Back The Kickoff

Ep. 739 - Fans are guaranteed to see at least two kickoffs every game. And last season, kickoffs were an afterthought. That’s about to change with the league approving new kickoff rules for 2024. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss what it’s going to look like and, more importantly, how the Cardinals will likely benefit from the new approach; and maybe why they made DeeJay Dallas an early signing in free agency. Also, the guys go over some of the other news and notes from the Annual League Meeting; what the latest mock drafts are saying about the Cardinals and the fourth overall pick; plus Desmond Ridder addressed reporters this week, what did he say and how does he fit within his new team’s quarterback room?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Underground - The Draft And What Might Happen

Darren Urban has returned from the NFL meetings - hence the day’s delay for the podcast - and so he, Paul Calvisi, and Dani Sureck have plenty to talk about, including what the Cardinals could do at No. 4 in the draft. A trade? What would the “QB surcharge” might be? Discussion points include J.J. McCarty’s “rise” on draft boards and Drake Maye’s “drop,” options the Cardinals might have, dumb trade suggestions floating out there, “It’s good to be Monti,” the Cardinals holding another joint practice, two Wednesday games on Christmas, one division for Hard Knocks, and Dani’s resemblance to Susanna Hoffs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Red Sea Report - Monti Ossenfort Holds All The Cards In The NFL Draft

Does the 2024 NFL Draft run through Arizona?

Cardinals Cover 2 - ‘It’s Good To Be Monti’ Ossenfort

Ep. 738 - No team is in better position for the 2024 NFL Draft than the Arizona Cardinals. Or, more specifically, no *one person* as Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Monday from the Annual League Meeting in Orlando. With the fourth overall pick, the Cardinals are the talk of the league. Darren Urban heard all the talk. From Orlando, he joins Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi to discuss what it may take for Monti Ossenfort to part with the team’s first first-round selection. Can a team make Ossenfort an offer he can’t refuse? Plus, Grialou and Calvisi revisit an earlier conversation concerning a former Cardinals draft pick. Why are they revisiting it? Well, because the player’s name has once again resurfaced in the rumor mill.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 - The Price Of Admission

Ep. 737 - Do you love ball? And do you put team first? That’s how Jonathan Gannon defines the price of admission to be an Arizona Cardinal. And, yes, being a good football player is a must. All nine players – to date – signed in free agency paid the price of admission. Gannon and Monti Ossenfort met the media on Wednesday to discuss the moves made thus far. What did they say? Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck go over some of the highlights; the focus on defense, specifically defensive line; don’t ask – though it was asked – where Jonah Williams and Paris Johnson will line up; Desmond Ridder’s experience played a big factor in his acquisition; fielding trade calls for the No. 4 overall pick; plus “the brutal” decision Ossenfort made to release D.J. Humphries.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 - A Frenzied Start To Free Agency

Ep. 736 - Back after a week away, Craig Grialou enlists the help of Paul Calvisi to go over everything that happened at the start of the new league year. And there was a lot. Seven players re-signed, seven players signed, one player was acquired and there were a handful of good-byes. The discussion began with GM Monti Ossenfort’s focus on the defense, specifically the defensive line; an edge rusher has not been signed yet so might the Cardinals be waiting for the draft, and if so, what does that mean when it comes to the fourth overall pick? Also, backup quarterback was addressed, and if there was still a question about Kyler Murray’s status within the building, there isn’t anymore.

As the Cardinals start the new league year, they say goodbye to the longest-tenured player, but also bring in a bunch of new ones as free agency got underway. Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck talk about all of it – from D.J. Humphries’ legacy to new tackle Jonah Williams, the additions of defensive tackles Bilal Nichols and Justin Jones to help the defensive line, whether Sean Murphy-Bunting will play inside or outside, and a rousing game of who does this QB play for now?

Cardinals Cover 2 - L.J. Collier Brought Back To Defensive Line

Ep. 735 - In what is likely the first of many moves to provide the team depth along the defensive line going into next season, the Cardinals re-signed veteran L.J. Collier on Friday. It’s a one-year deal ahead of the official start of free agency. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss the decision to bring back Collier, who played less than one game last season after suffering a biceps injury in Week 1. It was one of several injuries suffered at the position, and the Cardinals struggled because of it, especially against the run. Also, wide receiver Greg Dortch is back, a smart move according to Craig and Dani, who both believe Dortch has earned himself more playing time on offense. Will he be given the chance?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardinals Cover 2 - QB Rising

Ep. 733 - It happens every year. One or two quarterbacks will hear their name called earlier than projected; and for some, a lot earlier.

Ep. 729 - That’s where games are won or lost, right? The Cardinals need to invest in the offensive line and defensive line this offseason. But how?

(Programming note: Cardinals Cover 2 will be in Indianapolis.) More than 300 prospects have been invited. The Cardinals will have their eyes on a number of players.
