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. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck are ready for whatever is to come over the next three days. Stick and pick? Trade down? Trade down and then move back up the board? In addition to one last lookahead, the two revisit a pair of conversations they had during the NFL Scouting Combine with ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller - why he believes the Cardinals control the draft - and NFL Network draft analyst Lance Zierlein - what he expects from GM Monti Ossenfort.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 are close to the vest right now, and when the 20th anniversary of the Larry Fitzgerald 2004 draft has arrived.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 year's draft? Take a deep breath. Relax. The speculation will soon be coming to an end.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 picks, including six in the first 90 and two in the first round. It’s why NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah recently told reporters “this is a ‘set your franchise up’ situation” in which Ossenfort finds himself in this week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Plus, Calvisi and Ron Wolfley discuss the start of the offseason program, Trey McBride's potential in his third season and the pre-draft press conference conducted by Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 dissecting, what he had to say to the assembled media. This much is clear: the Cardinals are in position to help set themselves up for not only this season but several seasons ahead based on their draft capital; so long as there are more hits than misses with their picks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
