Cardinals NFL Draft Preview: Tight End

Scott Allen — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 02:31:01 +0000


As stocked as the Arizona Cardinals were at tight end just a couple of seasons ago, it seems as if the well has run dry at the position a little ever since the Super Bowl run.  The Cards drafted Jim Dray last season out of Stanford, but as far as I am concerned, the jury is still out on him.  At times it seemed as if a ghost would have played better at the position than he did.  What do I know though, right?
So, is there a chance the Cards go tight end in the draft?  I suppose there is always a chance.  So, if so, who is the best fit for the Cards if they draft a tight end?  Place your vote now.

You would think this would be a glaring need for the Arizona Cardinals, but little has been said this off-season about the Cards need at the offensive line position.  Most likely this is the case because of how much the quarterback debate has overshadowed all that talk.
The Cards really could use a few good offensive linemen.  Problem is, this is the one position you don;t want to get too young in at this point given the direction the Cards want and should go in.  They have more glaring needs to fix.  However, that doesn't mean the Cards would stay away from the position in the NFL Draft.  One or two youngsters could be a breath of fresh air.  They'd better be very good though.  Which offensive lineman do you think would be a good fit for the Cards from the OL crop coming out?

Cardinals NFL Draft Preview: Linebackers

The Arizona Cardinals have another need, at linebacker.   As with the other positions, there some good ones out there to be had, including Von Miller from Texas A&M.  Many experts have the Cardinals looking in his direction in April.  I’m not convinced it is the best choice given all the needs the Cards have, but he is an exciting player.
If they don’t draft Miller, I still expect them to address the position later in the draft.  You may even see a couple of linebackers drafted as the Cards attempt to keep the position young.  Who do you think would fit best with the Cards?  Let us know!
