I have gone from linebacker to defensive end to running back in my previous mocks. That diversity still seems to exist amongst the experts as well. As of today I have the Cardinals taking Melvin Gordon, running back from Wisconsin at number 24. Here are what others are saying.
Peter King, MMQB – Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia
Todd McShay, ESPN – Bud Dupree, OLB, Kentucky
Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN – Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin
Rob Rang, CBS Sports – Todd Gurley
Dane Bruglar, CBS Sports – Melvin Gordon
Pete Prisco, CBS Sports – Melvin Gordon
Will Brinson, CBS Sports – Todd Gurley

So as you can see, there is a wide range of opinions in what people think the Cardinals will or at least should do. The Cards still have needs at each of these positions listed above. There is not much room to argue against any of these.
