We all know that Holmes and Campbell said that he was a bit of a project, but it’s a bit concerning that there seems to be no plan to get him on the field any time soon.
Granted, the 3 players selected with the picks traded for him - Jon Gaines II, Clayton Tune, and Owen Pappoe, have done nothing for the Cardinals, but considering Holmes’ ability to draft, any 3 for 1 trade needs to be a hit.
The team’s success thus far is covering it up, but for a third rounder to not even be sniffing the field is a bit concerning that it was a completely wasted move.
Bro it’s the draft. It’s very rare to find first year starter talent in the 3rd round even less likely we find starters with the picks we traded to move up. I’d give the kid at least until the start of next season before we call it a bad pick. Even then you’ll have that since drafting is an inexact science. These GMs and scouts have no idea how people will respond when football is there life 100% or the time. Will they act like they did in college and give 25% of there effort to the sport? Or will they devote every minute or the day and be obsessed with football? It’s impossible to tell and that’s usually what separates great from mediocre.
