Christian Kirk 2019 Outlook
As CBSSports.com suggested, given Larry Fitzgerald's age (36 in August), there's an excellent chance Kirk becomes the No. 1 receiver for the Cardinals in 2019. The versatile Kirk is an inside or outside receiver who produces yards after the catch, has great speed, boasts solid route-running skills and displays good hands. He proved to be dynamic (and productive) in his rookie campaign. This year, there's a new offense, run by a new offensive-minded HC (Kliff Kingsbury) with a new QB (Kyler Murray). On the whole, this should be a much-improved offense that will be forced to throw the ball a lot because of game scripts. Indeed, that's probably the way Kingsbury wants to run his offense anyway. As Fansided.com's Avery Duncan put it, "[Kingsbury’s] offense is about as aggressive as a ten-year-old playing 'Madden.'" Remember: Murray is well-known for his time and success at Oklahoma, but Murray spent his freshman year at Texas A&M. Though he played just one season for the Aggies, Kirk and Murray were freshmen teammates, and Murray threw his first college touchdown pass to the now-Cardinal receiver. So, yes, Fitzgerald is still there, and the team added Andy Isabella and Hakeem Butler in April's draft (and of course David Johnson will chip in, too), but Kirk could return great value if drafted in this range.
Christian Kirk 2018 Outlook
According to the Sports Xchange, Arizona filled two needs by selecting Kirk in the second round. Not only is he a capable wide receiver who can step in and contribute from the slot position right away, but he's also a very dangerous return man on punts and kickoffs. A local Arizona product out of Scottsdale Saguaro High School, where he was named the state's player of the year as a senior, Kirk started as a freshman at Texas A&M and in three seasons there, caught 229 passes for 2,796 yards and 26 touchdowns. He also scored six other times on punt and kick returns. Adding to the intrigue, at this point the Cardinals have only J.J. Nelson and Brice Butler on the depth chart behind Larry Fitzgerald, so Kirk could see meaningful snaps during this rookie campaign. His true value will be greater in dynasty leagues, but Kirk is a prospect to watch. He'll be a late rounder who could easily outproduce expectations, especially with both Sam Bradford and Josh Rosen being accurate passers capable of keeping the Cardinals' passing attack moving.
