GM Steve Keim is up to his usual tricks in free agency. Let’s discuss which of the new Cardinals will have the biggest impact in 2019. Also: will any of these players even be around in 2020?"As we discussed previously Black Patrick Peterson Jersey , most of the Cardinals’ player acquisitions this offseason have been made with 2019 in mind—which is in line with GM Steve Keim’s usual approach to free agency. While I don’t love the idea of continuing to plug roster holes with stopgap solutions, it’s also common knowledge that teams aren’t built through free agency.We’ll see if Keim can add a few franchise building blocks in this year’s draft. But, for now, let’s take a look at his roster moves thus far through the lens of 2019. Which new Cardinals will make the biggest impact on the field next season? We’ll then briefly discuss whether this approach to free agency is the right one. Let’s start by discussing a few players whom Cardinals fans should hope don’t see the field much in 2019.Limited ImpactBrett HundleyMax GarciaKevin WhiteDamiere these three.5) OLBs Terrell Suggs/Brooks ReedThese two will likely combine to man the OLB spot opposite Chandler Jones. Reed figures to play on early downs and obvious run situations, while Suggs will be the 3rd-down and pass-rushing specialist. I think we’ll get very solid play from this duo—I’m especially excited to see what Suggs can do chasing down QBs alongside Jones. I just have them a little lower on this list as it seems likely that a rookie edge player will cut into their playing time—whether it be a top pick like Nick Bosa/Josh Allen or a later pick. At least, there’d better be a rookie pushing them, as both of these guys are basically on 1-year deals.4) TE Charles ClayClay is the best tight end we’ve had in the desert since… I don’t know, maybe ever? Not that he’s a Pro Bowl–caliber player, or even an above-average starter. I mean, he’s 30 years old and coming off a season in which he only caught 21 passes with no TDs. But the TE position has been so barren for years that Clay is a monumental improvement—or at least, he will be if he stays healthy (he always seems to get nicked up). From 2013–2017, he averaged 57 receptions, 600 yards, and almost 4 TDs a season. If he can even come close to replicating those numbers—or even 80% of those numbers—he’ll be worth every penny of the $2M we’ll be paying him in 2019.3) RG J.R. Sweezy and RT Marcus GilbertThe new right side of our O-line have both been competent players when healthy. And that’s the key for these two—“when healthy.” Sweezy has been pretty durable other than the 2016 season in Tampa Bay, which he missed after offseason back surgery, but Gilbert has played just 12 games combined the past two season after suffering various lower-body injuries. He has two 16-game seasons on his resume Patrick Peterson Jersey 2019 , but he has also missed 9 or more games three times. Still, there’s no doubt that this duo, when on the field, will be an improvement on Justin Pugh playing out of position and the tackle formerly known as Andre Smith (as well as the revolving door of their replacements). But the question remains how long they can stay healthy.2) DE Darius PhilonDefensive line was one of the biggest team needs this offseason, and many started to panic a bit when the position went unaddressed for most of free agency. Although the D-line is still an unfinished project, Keim rallied nicely with the Philon signing. Philon was a bright spot on the D-line for the Chargers in 2018 and is still young (25) and pretty cheap (2 years, $10M). He will look good next to Corey Peters in the trenches and should help both against the run and the pass (8.5 sacks combined the past two seasons). Philon won’t be an every-down player, but he will produce when on the field for new DC Vance Joseph.1) ILB Jordan HicksThe 2018 season was a down year for the usually sturdy Redbirds defense, and the play at inside LB was a big reason why. The inexplicable change to a 4-3 didn’t help matters, but guys like the departed Deone Bucannon and 2nd-year player Haason Reddick were constantly out of position in the running game and couldn’t cover opposing RBs in the passing game. Veterans like Josh Bradford, Bene Benwikere, and Brice Butler (remember him?). Every free agent acquisition from last year aside from Justin Pugh are now gone. Again, you can’t build a team through free agency, but you should at least be able sign a handful of contributors each offseason. Hopefully Hicks and Philon are those guys from this free agent class.But you have to question Keim’s continued reliance on castoffs, retreads, and “prove-it” players—especially given his fallow draft classes of the past few years. These kind of “Keim Time” signings worked well when he was drafting well—signing veteran players to complement the foundation he built through the draft. But they don’t work as well when there is no foundation to complement.If this latest free agent crop doesn’t pan out and he makes the wrong call with the #1 pick Black Jordan Hicks Jersey , Keim Time might be up sooner that most think.Any thoughts on these new players, Redbirds fans? Who do you see making the most impact in 2019? What do you think about Keim’s approach to free agency? Let us know if the comments. Some of the top offensive players, by position, available in the NFL draft, which takes place April 25-27 in Nashville, Tennessee (x-indicates early entrant to draft):QUARTERBACKPosition outlook: The most interesting player in the draft and a few players likely to be selected earlier than they should because that’s what happens with quarterbacks.x-Kyler Murray, 5-foot-10, 205, Oklahoma.Strengths: Explosive athlete with a strong arm, nice touch and solid accuracy.Weaknesses: Kyler Murray is small. You might have heard.Fact: Murray’s Allen (Texas) High School team went 43-0 at with three championships in the state’s most competitive division.Gone by: Certainly seems as if he will be No. 1 selection to Cardinals.x-Dwayne Haskins, 6-3, 230, Ohio State.Strengths: Big guy with a big arm who commands his offense.Weaknesses: Heavy-footed and prone to fall back against pressure. Only 14 career starts.Fact: Led the nation with 4,831 yards passing and 50 touchdowns last season.Gone by: Even if the teams currently in the top 10 don’t want Haskins, good bet someone will trade up to grab him.Drew Lock, 6-4 Jordan Hicks Jersey 2019 , 228, Missouri.Strengths: Size, arm and athleticism.Weaknesses: Accuracy and ability to throw with varying speeds are inconsistent.Fact: Four-year starter at Missouri.Gone by: Might not be a top-15 player, but good chance he’s a top-15 pick.Daniel Jones, 6-5, 231, Duke.Strengths: Combo of size and athleticism is top level.Weaknesses: Decision making was often questionable and release needs to be sped up.Fact: Three years as a starter under coach David Cutcliffe, aka the guy who coached Peyton and Eli Manning in college.Gone by: Pretty good chance Jones gets taken in the first round.Others to watch: Ryan Finley, QB, North Carolina State; Jarrett Stidham, Auburn; Will Grier, West Virginia; Tyree Jackson, Buffalo.
