Guess how many of the top 50 UFAs PFF have signing with the Cardinals?
0
I have picked out a few of the predictions that could be of interest to you—-and—-for the sake of discussion and intrigue—-pick out 3 deals with players at their predicted salaries that you would take if you were the Cardinals’ GM.
9. Raiders—-CB Byron Jones (5 years/$16M a year/$50M guaranteed)
10. Texans—-CB Chris Harris, Jr. (2/$13M/$13Mg)
16. Rams—-LB Cory Littleton (4/$12M/$30Mg)
17. Colts—-T Anthony Castonzo (3/$13M/$17Mg)
18. Raiders—-WR Robby Anderson (4/$13.3M/$28Mg)
21. Titans—-T Jack Conklin (5/$14M/$34Mg)
24. Dolphins—-G Joe Thuney (5/$13M/$30.5Mg)
28. 49ers—-DI Arik Armsetad (5/$17M/$45Mg)
32. Seahawks—-DI D.J. Reader (4/$13.5M/$28.5Mg)
33. Ravens—-DI Javon Hargraves (4/$12M/$28Mg)
34. Giants—-DI Leonard Williams (5/$15M/$43Mg)
35. Titans—-RB Derrick Henry (4/$11M/$25Mg)
37. Falcons—-TE Austin Hooper (4/$10.1M/$21Mg)
41. Browns—-LB Joe Schobert (4/$11M/$27Mg)
42. Broncos—-DI Michael Pierce (3/$5M/$6.5Mg)
44. Cowboys—-DI Mike Daniels (3/$5M/$3Mg)
45. Giants—-CB Trae Waynes (1/$7.5M/$6.5Mg)
46. Rams—-T Andrew Whitworth (1/$11M/$10Mg)
47. Jets—-CB Brian Poole (3/7.5M/$12.5Mg)
48. Eagles—-T Jason Peters (1/$9M/$8.5Mg)
49. Lions—-DI Shelby Harris (3/$5.5M/$7Mg)
50. Patriots—-LB Jamie Collins (2/$7.5M/$5.5Mg)
Cardinals in PFFs Top 100:
52. Cardinals—-T D.J. Humphries (3/$15M/$29Mg)—-they had predicted: (4/$13.5M/$26Mg)
94. Cardinals—-RB Kenyan Drake (sportrac has him at $5.5M a year—-not convinced he will get that—-more like something in the 3/$4.4M/$7Mg range)
Not Ranked in the Top 100:
WR Larry Fitzgerald (1/$11.5M/$11.5Mg)—-2019 PFF grade: 70.3 (#53 WR)
Your Three Deals:
My 3:
16. LB Cory Littleton (4/$12M/$30Mg)
33. DI Javon Hargraves (4/$12M/$28Mg)
47. CB Brian Poole (4/7.5M/$12.5Mg)—-trade or release Robert Alford (add $4.5M to cap)
This is the age and years of experience range that I am hoping the Cardinals target (25-27 years old with 4-5 years NFL experience. Littleton is 26 (4 years exp.), Hargraves (27, 4) and Poole (27, 4). Good tacklers, all. Littleton and Poole good in coverage. Hargraves good inside pass rusher.
