The Arizona Cardinals could use more depth at the corner position after showing a bit of a struggle in the playoffs

The Arizona Cardinals have Patrick Peterson.  After that though Jerraud Powers and Justin Bethel both struggled at times during the season.  Peterson had his struggles too but had a better season in 2015 over 2014. I think it is safe to say the Cardinals could still use some help at the position, especially if Powers, a free agent himself, moves to another team.

Outside those three guys, there are others on the current roster.  None of them though are likely to make any waves.  Corey White and Cariel Brooks might have something to say but here are five guys the Cardinals should target in free agency.

Trumaine Johnson, Los Angeles Rams

They may never get the shot to try and get him but if the Rams do not put a transition tag on Johnson, the Cardinals should seriously think about spending money here.  Johnson was a beast in 2015.  He tallied 71 tackles and seven interceptions last season.

He may end up costing a lot though and certainly while corner could use an upgrade in depth, they do also have to address getting a pass rusher.  However imagine the Cardinals being able to swipe a great corner like this from a division rival.
