Those are the bell cows, they can put together a dual back rushing attack as well.
Easier said than done. In a fantasy world you would want a thunder and lightning duo but you don’t know when you will take the backs. We have to use free agency it is a must going forward.

I want one of those top 3 backs, but you could get a player like Henderson (who you like), with more of a power back to complement each other. There are a ton of those types available cheap in fa or could add another later on in the draft.

I don't think there is any question we will get one of the top 4..........the room is bare. Hell, we could double dip AND add a free agent for leadership.
I believe we are going to either resign Dowdle or another veteran prior to the draft and take 1 of the top 4.

It appears they accepted the fact that Tolbert isn't a legit #2 guy..........but you have been saying it for a while.
I really believe Tolbert can fill the Gallup role as the 3rd receiver, but he isn't a starter in this league. When you look at the best fits, I think Ebukia makes a lot of sense. Versatile, experience receiver who is considered a strong route runner. Like Burden as well, but think Ebukia might be the ideal complement. Now will they consider him as high as 12 or perhaps move back a few spots to get that 4th rd back?

Let’s get the Arizona offensive line coach signed and I will feel better about the running game. I remember the scheme the Cardinals ran against us in 2023 with a bunch of average players on the offensive line. They whipped Micah, Osa, and Tank. Let’s go!!!!

This report seems like common knowledge of this team. Spending a 1st or 2nd round pick on a WR, and that 4th for Mingo is a poor use of resources. A top RB is more important than a WR. Put a 3rd round tender on Hoffman and let's roll. Speaking of OL, Solari shouldn't have been brought back last season, so it's about time they moved on. Hopefully, Clayton gets hired on today. They need DL every year.

Not on the salary scale it isn't. Also, can't have just one quality receiver and expect to have a strong passing game.

So a rookie WR is going to change the passing game now? Your QB is still going to spam Lamb and next is the TE, then RB. Your talking about using these resources on a 4th passing option. The WRs in the draft are nothing like the last 2 drafts, either, so that "quality" isn't top tier.

They have more pressing needs pay scale or not, they have positions that don't even have players, empty rooms.

1 million percent yes…we literally haven’t had a quality #2 since Cooper was here.

We don’t have to force WR but it’s a blinking red light need. We’ve got a ton of needs so you could make a case for a lot of positions.

Not a 1st rd receiver, they will make an immediate impact.
