    Cardinals Cover 2 - A Trip To Canton Plus (Finally!) It’s Draft Week
    2026/04/20
    Ep. 997 - It’s story time with Darren. After spending part of the weekend at the Pro Football Hall of Fame - with the Hall’s newest inductee Larry Fitzgerald - Darren Urban joins Craig Grialou to discuss the trip; why he, Fitz, and the rest of the 2026 Hall of Fame Class were in attendance. Then Craig and Darren dive into the draft, which is now just three days away. What do the Cardinals do at pick 3? Do they stick and pick? And if so, what is the likelihood the selection is Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love? Or might the Cardinals trade down? And is the Ty Simpson-talk simply a smokescreen? Also, Craig and Darren discuss the report Jacoby Brissett is not attending Phase 1 of the voluntary offseason program.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Arizona Cardinals ‘Can’t Miss’ At No. 3
    2026/04/15
    Ep. 996 - A week out and the uncertainty remains. The Cardinals could go in a number of different directions with the third overall pick. And which ever direction they choose, they have to get it right. Though it happens, teams selecting that high in the draft “can’t miss” on a prospect, according to Paige Dimakos, the president and CEO of The Draft Network. On Wednesday, she joined Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman to give her thoughts on the 2026 draft class overall, who she likes for the Cardinals at 3, weighs in on the debate between premium and non-premium positions, plus talks Ty Simpson. Yes, the Alabama quarterback was a topic on the day he was reportedly in town on a Top-30 visit.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Does The 2026 NFL Draft Begin At 3?
    2026/04/13
    Ep. 995 - Currently, the Arizona Cardinals are scheduled to make the third overall selection in next week’s draft. Do they stick and pick? And if so, then who are the most likely targeted prospects? Do they trade down? And if so, then how far down might be too far? All great questions. And all questions Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck attempted to answer with the help of Trevor Sikkema, co-host of the NFL Stock Exchange. Sikkema rejoins the show, adding his thoughts on whether an offensive lineman or edge rusher should be the choice of GM Monti Ossenfort; what offers a higher return on investment, is there a pass-rusher who stands out among the others, and how might the non-premium position players affect the top of the draft.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - First Impressions, The Importance Of The Huddle, And Who Might Have A Chip On Their Shoulder
    2026/04/08
    Ep. 994 - Day 1 is important. Day 1 is a reset. And for the Arizona Cardinals Day 1 also represented a new beginning. The Mike LaFleur era is officially underway. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman discuss the start of the offseason strength and conditioning program; what were their takeaways listening to Hjalte Froholdt and Zaven Collins speak with reporters. Plus, Craig and Zach explain the reason LaFleur is so focused on the mechanics of the huddle, the chip that likely rests on Nick Rallis’ shoulder, the idea behind better communication improving the overall defense, and with two weeks to go before the draft, is offensive line becoming less of an option at pick 3? Zach updates the Cardinals Mock Draft Tracker.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Draft Needs; What Positions Should Be Targeted?

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Draft Needs; What Positions Should Be Targeted?
    2026/04/06
    Ep. 993 - In a little over two weeks - two weeks from Thursday to be specific - the Arizona Cardinals will be on the clock. So, at pick No. 3, what position should GM Monti Ossenfort target? Does he go offensive line? Is an edge rusher the selection? Or might there be a wildcard? Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi discuss the options Ossenfort may have with that first-round pick, including trading down which he did in his first draft back in 2023. Before that conversation though, Craig and Paul look ahead to the start of the offseason program. Day 1 for the Cardinals is Tuesday. It’s the first chance new head coach Mike LaFleur and his staff will be around the players in a more formal, official capacity.

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Mike LaFleur Values Experience At QB, Calls Teryl Austin ‘A Great Asset’
    2026/04/01
    Ep. 992 - Happy April Fool’s Day, Bird Gang. That said, neither Craig Grialou nor Dani Sureck are playing the fool on Wednesday’s show. Instead, Craig and Dani continue to react to what Mike LaFleur had to say during his Q&A with reporters at the Annual League Meeting this week; LaFleur likes the experience both Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew bring to the quarterback room, believes Teryl Austin will be “a great asset” for him, Nick Rallis, and the defense overall plus LaFleur is looking forward to having players back in the building next week. Also, Craig and Dani update Paris Johnson Jr.’s rehab, another round of uniform number changes, and because it is April 1st, begin to promote the 2026 Draft Party at State Farm Stadium.

    2026/03/30
    Ep. 991 - It’s the one topic that’s dominated much of the offseason. Quarterback. Who’s in the room? Who might be in the room? And, yes, who no longer is in the room? Those questions were asked. Those questions were answered by head coach Mike LaFleur over a 30-minute period on Monday morning at the Arizona Biltmore, the site of this year’s Annual League Meeting. Both Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman listened in to what LaFleur had to say about Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew as well as Kyler Murray. Plus, the guys react to what LaFleur had to say about the offense, the offensive line, his coaching staff, Kendrick Bourne, Walter Nolen’s recovery, and the likelihood of joint practices with the Green Bay Packers.

  • Cardinals Cover 2 - Andrew Wingard Bringing Gardeck Grit, Budda Mindset To Arizona

    Cardinals Cover 2 - Andrew Wingard Bringing Gardeck Grit, Budda Mindset To Arizona
    2026/03/25
    Ep. 990 – At first glance, he reminds you of Dennis Gardeck, maybe even Pat Tillman (or Kurt Cobain, according to Paul Calvisi.) Watch him play, and yeah, the Gardeck similarities continue. Hear him speak, and you feel like you’re talking to Budda Baker in terms of how he describes his style of play. In other words, new safety Andrew Wingard, before even playing a down of football in a Cardinals uniform, is trending towards being a fan favorite. Recently, Wingard sat down with Calvisi and Craig Grialou to discuss why he chose Arizona after seven seasons in Jacksonville, why going undrafted might’ve been the best thing to happen to him, and why he plays like he plays.
