Ep. 753 - With apologies to the Masters, post-draft grades are “a tradition unlike any other.” Which team did well? Which team didn’t? Who might be a sleeper pick? Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman react to what the experts are saying about GM Monti Ossenfort’s second draft class. Spoiler alert: Monti did very well. The 12 new players won’t be on the field for another week - rookie minicamp begins May 10 - so right now everything is a projection. In fact, Zach projects Darius Robinson to begin...

Ep. 752 - Five picks on Saturday. An NFL-high 12 picks over the three days of the 2024 NFL Draft. GM Monti Ossenfort did not mess around. The 12 picks, by the way, were split evenly between offense and defense. So, what do we think? Craig Grialou is joined once again by both Dani Sureck and Paul Calvisi to discuss Day 3 as well as the draft in general. This much is clear, cornerback was prioritized; or so it seemed. One was selected on each day, with Jaden Davis out of Miami hearing his name...

Ep. 751 - Five picks including four in the third round. GM Monti Ossenfort was a busy man on Friday. Oh, and he made a pair of trades as well. Craig Grialou is joined by both Dani Sureck and Paul Calvisi – that’s right they go Cover 3 to discuss Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft. Round two got started with a trade down before the selection of Rutgers cornerback Max Melton, a player who does not lack in the confidence department. Then round three saw four selections: Florida State running back Trey...

Ep. 750 - Two draft picks in the first round netted the Cardinals two players who fill positions of need: wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and defensive lineman Darius Robinson. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck are back to discuss day one of the 2024 NFL Draft. They begin with the selection of Robinson – and yes, he hails from Dani’s alma mater, the University of Missouri – who can play both inside and outside along the d-line. His 8.5 sacks and 14 tackles for loss were both team highs last...

Ep. 749 - After much discussion and speculation, the Cardinals stayed put and selected Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. with the fourth overall pick. And in the end, it’s not that big of a surprise. Harrison was ranked by many as, not only the No. 1 wideout, but the No. 1 non-quarterback position player in the draft. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck - who went with her gut and predicted GM Monti Ossenfort would do exactly what happened - react mere minutes after commissioner Roger...

Ep. 748 - One day away. The finish line, otherwise known as the 2024 NFL Draft, is in sight. Again, the Cardinals have 11 total picks, the most of any team. Six of those picks are in the first 90 with two in the first round. At least that’s where things stand as of Wednesday.

In addition to one last lookahead, the two revisit a pair...

Paul Calvisi wants to hold Darren Urban accountable - and Dani Sureck may just be an innocent bystander - on the latest Cardinals Underground. That’s important during draft week, when a trade could still happen (only when the Cardinals are on the clock, because that is common sense), as teams who might want to trade up are considered, how there are no “fair” trades this high in the draft, when the Cards need to consider what makes sense with 27 and 35, how fans have loved MHJ, when comments...

After months of speculation, teams will finally start adding college players to their rosters on Thursday night as the 2024 NFL Draft kicks off from Detroit. Who will the Cardinals select and will those players come from the original first-round draft slots of No. 4 and No. 27? Craig Grialou, Paul Calvisi and Rob Fredrickson run through scenarios the Cardinals may be faced with as things get underway. Plus, what are some under-the-radar positions the Cardinals could look to upgrade in this...

Ep. 747 - Of course, if a quarterback is selected fourth overall, then that means GM Monti Ossenfort has traded the pick. To which team? And for what? All great questions. And questions no one has the answers to. That hasn’t stopped the speculation, however. With the draft now just three days away, Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi dive into what is being written and said about the decisions Ossenfort may or may not make. And not just with the No. 4 pick. The Cardinals have - to date - 11 total...

Ep. 660 - The Cardinals signed running back DeeJay Dallas as a free agent on March 14. The former 4th-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks brings experience in the backfield and on special teams. Dallas joined Paul Calvisi to talk about why he felt the Cardinals would be a good fit, the details of the new kickoff rules, his hometown of Brunswick, Georgia, attending a high school that dates back to 1788 and much more.

Ep. 746 - One week away. Only seven days until the 2024 NFL Draft. The Cardinals - at the moment - have 11 picks, including six in the first 90 and two in the first round. So, what will Monti Ossenfort do? Stick and pick? Trade down? Trade down and then trade back up, like he did a year ago? Well, during Thursday’s pre-draft presser, Monti was - to no one’s surprise - not very forthcoming with his plans. Of course, that didn’t stop Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck from discussing, and even...

Ep. 745 - Edge. And cornerback. Those would appear to be the positions of most need on defense; at least in the opinion of both Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman. The annual draft primer series - a position-by-position look at the Cardinals’ draft needs - continues this week on azcardinals.com. (Check the archives for a discussion on the offense.) While outside linebacker was not addressed in free agency, cornerback was with the signing of veteran Sean Murphy-Bunting. But, as the saying goes,...
