Quote:I think Carr COULD fall to the second round-at least lower than Az's pick in the first round, but I don't think he'll make it to 39th overall in the second.

 

I am not inclined to believe Arizona would take Carr in the first.

 

Even with Carson Palmer and in a tough division, they still finished 10-6 and missed the playoffs by a tiebreaker.  I think they will go more immediate needs in this draft.  Specifically, this is a pretty deep T draft, and Arizona has desperate need at that position, especially given the pass rushers in that division.  I would have to think if Taylor Lewan is somehow on the board when they pick, they'll be all over him before they get a QB to sit behind Palmer.

 

As far as your WR analysis, I can see teams in the bottom of the first round (SF, Seattle, New England, Cleveland, KC,) possibly going WR in the first.  But there is also an axiom that the deeper a draft class is, the lower WRs tend to be drafted.  Pundits have indicated this is a very deep draft class, so we'll see how true this axiom is.  If somehow we wound up with Moncrief in the 3rd round, I think I'd be pretty happy.

 

I think Az...maybe Cleveland at Indy's pick (26, IIRC) represents the last chances Carr will be taken in the first round, barring a trade up by a team at the top half of the 2nd round who missed out on a QB in the first.

 

 

I think Carr is a first rounder this year.  Some team is going to overdraft him and take him either mid first or late first round after a possible trade up scenario.  I think Carr has potential and depending on the situation he goes too could be a good pickup for someone.  He's not a top 3 QB but I could see him taken around where a guy like Flacco was.  

 

As for Moncrief I don't see him making it past round two.  If we want him we'll need to take him at 39 and that's not where I'd be comfortable taking him.
