Cards Go With the Safety Pick in Round Three

AUTHOR: Scott Allen | IN: Cardinals | COMMENTS: 1 Comment |

The Arizona Cardinals selected safety Rashad Johnson from Alabama in this morning’s third round of the 2009 NFL Draft.

So what do we know about Johnson.  He is a former walk-on.  He has 11 interceptions over the past two seasons.  He has a quick reaction to the ball, however his size would be one concern at 5′11″.  He also needs to bulk up just a little.  He was a unanimous choice for the first-team All-SEC in 2008.  That is saying something considering the conference. ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. says he plays like a first rounder.

Overall this may end up being the smartest pick of the draft for the Cardinals.  Also sounds like they got a steal for the end of the third round.
