Over the last three days we have been examining our options as the draft approaches. With the 16th pick in this April’s draft, the Arizona Cardinals are in a much different position than they’ve been accustomed to over the past few years. We don’t have the top 10 pick, so we have to be very smart about who we take. Drafting at the middle of the first round means you lose your chance at the can’t-miss prospects like RB Darren McFadden, DT Glenn Dorsey or DE Chris Long. But there is still the potential for top tier talent, like San Francisco got last year with LB Patrick Willis.
Based on the looks I gave both offense and defense, I identified 3 CRITICAL NEEDS:
1. Running Back
2. Cornerback
3. Defensive End
We can address any of these needs through either free agency or the draft. So that is what the question is. Based on what we’ve talked about and these three positions, What position should the Cards draft for with our first pick?
So take a chance to look at our newly posted poll and let us know what you think. Feel free to post any comments too, as we welcome all of your comments and ideas. If you disagree with these three options and think we need to go in another direction, please let everybody know.
My opinion? Alot of it will depend on what other teams before us do, but I would say that Defensive End is our biggest priority in the draft, then Running Back and then Cornerback.
Why? I feel we can pick up some quality players at the RB and CB position through free agency, but finding a quality pass rusher is going to be hard to come by. A young, speedy, physical pass rusher is what this team needs, and a consistent pass rush will take pressure off of the secondary as well. But that’s just what I think.
GO CARDS!!!
