Guessing at Grades for Zach Ertz Trade

seestyle

Everyone has an opinion; thats obvious.Still, its always somewhat sublime when free agents are signed, players are selected in the draft or  Mike Ditka Jersey trades are made and the instant analysis begins.As if anyone truly knows what the result will be.The latest involving the Cardinals occurred after tight end Zach Ertz was acquired in a trade from the Philadelphia Eagles last Friday.That story became almost an after-thought when the Cardinals were hit with an avalanche of positive COVID-19 tests later that day.Ertz was at practice Wednesday after arriving in Phoenix on owner Michael Bidwills private plane last Friday where he began to Chicago Bears Home Office  get to know his teammates and learn the offense. He traveled with the team to Cleveland.Scroll to ContinueAs for those microwave evaluations and grades, here are a few:Zach Kerr, CBS Sports: A"Ertz won't be asked to be the savior in Arizona, just an added weapon in an offense that already has DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green, Christian Kirk, and Rondale Moore as pa s-catchers. The Cardinals have run '10' personnel -- one RB, four WRs, no TE -- more than anyone, but they figure to get Ertz on the field after making this trade, even in four-wide receiver sets if they line him up as a receiver. Ertz can be the difference between the Cardinals being a "one-and-done" playoff team or going deep in the postseason. He's another excellent veteran to add to that locker room -- and a player  Marquise Goodwin Jersey they should sign past this season."Chris Franklin, CBS Sports: B"The Cardinals are already explosive on the outside with wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins and A.J. Green. Ertz gives Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray another option to work the intermediate and short routes, making the Cardinals more difficult to defend. Ertz can also provide veteran leadership to  Marqui Christian Jersey the Cardinals, helping the inexperienced players prepare for the demands of what it takes to be a succe sful playoff team."Walter Football: A"The Cardinals needed to replace their injured tight end, Maxx Williams, and Ertz is a viable solution. Ertz drops too many pa ses and gets hurt often, but he can still be a decent contributor, as evidenced in the Thursday night matchup against the Buccaneers. The Cardinals are the final remaining undefeated  Lucas Patrick Jersey team, but it's nice that they still recognize that they have holes on their roster that they must addre s. I'd like to see them add a cornerback as well, but this is a great trade because they're not really surrendering anything."
