Arizona Cardinals Podcasts

Ep. 559 - Day 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft saw the Cardinals double down on their biggest need: edge rusher. The Cardinals spent their third-round selections on San Diego State’s Cameron Thomas and Cincinnati’s Myjai Sanders, a pair of defensive ends who will line up at outside linebacker. That all, though, occurred after the Cardinals added Colorado State tight end Trey McBride, a player too-talented...

Ep. 558 - Rather than draft a player, the Cardinals chose to acquire a player via trade with their 2022 first-round pick. Welcome Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown to the desert. Certainly a surprise, and a very good surprise on Day 1 of the NFL Draft. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki react to the move; what it means both short-term and long-term for the team. Plus, what it means for Kyler Murray, who is n...

Ep. 557 - With the NFL Draft under 24 hours away, Paul Calvisi, Ron Wolfley and Dave Pasch come together to discuss the many possibilities the Cardinals could face when selecting 23rd overall. The guys speculate on several prospects and make their final predictions before the real thing takes place on Thursday night in Las Vegas. Who will become the newest members of the Arizona Cardinals? See omn...

Ep. 557 - Predicting what will happen in the NFL Draft can be an exercise in futility. Especially this year. Yet, Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki are going to give it a try. What’s another mock draft, right? How do they see the first round going? And more importantly, who’s the Cardinals’ pick at No. 23? Based on this mock draft, fans should be happy with the selection as wide receiver does fill a...

Draft talk may be full of smokescreens, but Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck have nothing to hide when it comes to discussing every angle about the Cardinals' 23rd pick -- and what to do with it. The trio discuss the needs the Cardinals have (and whether that ultimately makes for the deciding factor in the first-round choice), whether taking a wide receiver is smart, the value of premium...

What will the Cardinals do with the 23rd overall pick in the NFL Draft? It's very hard to predict. Craig Grialou, Mike Jurecki and Drew Stanton present a number of different scenarios the Cardinals could face on Thursday. Plus, Stanton talks about early-round roster building and offers thoughts on the return of A.J. Green and the upside of Rondale Moore. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy inf...

Ep. 556 - Now only three days away, the 2022 NFL Draft remains a great mystery. Who will be the No. 1 overall pick? How many quarterbacks will be selected in the first round? More importantly, what will the Cardinals do when it’s their turn? Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki speculate—and, really, that’s all anyone is doing or has done over the past several weeks and months. With the 23rd overall pic...

Ep. 556 - Wide receiver A.J. Green returned to Arizona this week after signing a new contract to stay with the Cardinals. Paul Calvisi chats with Green about his 2021 season, the future of the offense and the need to improve chemistry with quarterback Kyler Murray. Calvisi and Ron Wolfley also react to GM Steve Keim declaring "no chance" when asked about a potential trade involving Murray and Kyle...

Ep. 555 - From James Conner to J.J. Watt, several players returned to the Dignity Healthy Arizona Cardinals Training Center this week for the start of the offseason strength and conditioning program. It’s the next step towards the 2022 regular season. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discussed the turnout. They also acknowledged attendance is voluntary. There were players who did not attend, like Ky...

The Cardinals kicked off their voluntary strength and conditioning program this week at team headquarters in Tempe. Craig Grialou, Mike Jurecki and Kyle Vanden Bosch discuss the first day of activities and the importance of the program. Plus, reaction to the A.J. Green re-signing, more draft talk and a breakdown of the Cardinals Flight Plan season premiere. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...

Maybe talking on Underground isn’t voluntary – such as the strength and conditioning workouts are now for the Cardinals – but surely Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck wouldn’t pass up the chance to talk about the return of players officially, how Kyler Murray isn’t the only vet not here for optional work, where the Kyler story sits at the moment, J.J. Watt’s travels, Dani’s upcoming YouTu...

Ep. 554 - He’s back. A.J. Green returns on a one-year contract. He put up good numbers last season; just lacked consistency, especially when DeAndre Hopkins was sidelined. The re-signing of Green certainly fills a need, though as Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki both point out, it should not preclude the Cardinals from addressing the wide receiver position early in the draft. Speaking of next week’s...

Ep. 555 - Director of player personnel Dru Grigson joined Paul Calvisi to talk about the upcoming NFL Draft, building the Cardinals board and the overall depth of the 2022 class. Grigson also discusses the return of wide receiver A.J. Green, the addition of CB Jeff Gladney and much more. Plus, Calvisi and Ron Wolfley break down the many options the Cardinals could have when picking 23rd overall. S...

Ep. 553 - With James Conner re-signed and Jonathan Ward signing his one-year tender, the Cardinals would appear set at the running back position. In other words, there is no need to draft a player at that position. Or is there? There may be some difference of opinion between Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki. The 2022 NFL Draft is just two weeks away. And with that in mind, it’s time to unveil anothe...

There is no better reality show than Cardinals Underground, even if Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck aren’t really, you know, on a screen. They talk a lot, though, and not just about how they might do on a reality show. Instead, how about how the Cardinals might do in the reality show that is the NFL draft, as in how many quarterbacks might be taken in the first round (pushing better pla...

The 2022 NFL Draft is just over two weeks away. Craig Grialou, Mike Jurecki and Kyle Vanden Bosch begin to dive deep into several prospects who could be wearing Cardinal red by the end of the month. We focus on several positions of need including wide receiver, edge rusher, defensive line and cornerback. Plus, which highly-touted defensive player has led some draft experts to compare him to Vanden...

Ep. 28 - NFL Network draft analyst and “Move the Sticks Podcast" host Daniel Jeremiah joins Dave Pasch to preview the 2022 NFL Draft. Jeremiah discusses the Arizona Cardinals offseason so far and breaks down some of the potential selections they could make with the 23rd overall pick. Jeremiah also predicts the top overall selection, which quarterback will come off the board first, and who he think...

Ep. 552 - It’s one thing to be recognized in Arizona. It’s quite another when you get stopped across the pond. The latter has never happened to Craig Grialou or Mike Jurecki, but it did happen to J.J. Watt, who seemingly has been everywhere in recent weeks. Also, the guys discuss the re-signing of Antoine Wesley and how he figures into the team’s plan this season. Plus, Jurecki continues to countd...

Redick...

Ep. 554 - Former Cardinals safety Rashad Johnson is a current analyst for the University of Alabama football team. In that position, he's had a front row seat to watch many outstanding players with the Crimson Tide and other powerful SEC programs. Johnson joined Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley to talk about a handful of draft prospects, some of whom have been mocked to the Cardinals. Plus, Calvisi an...

Ep. 551 - Maybe it’s a sign. Maybe the seven tight ends currently on the roster foreshadows an offensive shift in philosophy. Or maybe it means nothing at all. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki try to make sense of an offseason that, so far, has seen the Cardinals load up on tight ends versus any other position. Also, what’s the latest on reported free-agent visits from running back Darrel Williams a...

No, none of our trio attended J.J. Watt’s impromptu meeting with the fans last weekend, but that doesn’t mean Darren Urban, Dani Sureck and Paul Calvisi don’t have something to say about it. They definitely have things to say about the signing of tight end Stephen Anderson and the need for another running back, what position makes the most sense on which to spend a first-round pick, when to draft...

As the 2022 offseason continues, Craig Grialou, Mike Jurecki and Drew Stanton discuss what's ahead for the Cardinals offense and who will benefit most from offseason minicamps and OTA sessions. Plus, a look ahead to the NFL Draft. Which position groups are the most NFL ready? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep. 550 - It’s been a busy past few days for J.J. Watt. He showed up to watch Shohei Ohtani and the Angels play his hometown Brewers in a Cactus League game. And then he held a meet-and-greet with Cardinals fans at a local dive bar. Watt is making good on his promise to get out in the community. Craig Grialou and Mike Jurecki discuss Watt’s presence both on and off the field. Plus, with three week...
