Arizona Cardinals options on draft day

I really hope that Michael Floyd doesn’t read this, because despite a contrary article that I’m writing right now, I think that Michael Floyd is possibly the future for the Cardinals, but you can’t keep everyone. So what am I getting to? Michael Floyd, in this scenario, is traded to a team looking for a receiver who is big and physical. The trade is something that would probably be a stretch for both teams involved, but I say, why not?

The Titans have a connection to the Cardinals, with Dick LeBeau and Bruce Arians once serving under the same staff for the Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl team of 2006 and 2009 (infamous). A trade that is beneficial for both Cardinals and the Tennessee Titans. Let’s see what both teams get in this situation, and hopefully it’s not too far fetched.

The Titans get themselves a wide receiver with loaded talent, possibly a number one receiver, depending on the development of Dorial Green-Beckham. Not to mention that Michael Floyd is a proven commodity with loads of experience, something that would highly benefit Marcus Mariota to the max while he transitions. Do the Titans really think a third or fifth round selection would be to much to ask for? The receiver could be a huge addition for a team with a young core in place. It doesn’t just benefit the Titans, though, and could benefit all parties.

The Cardinals could lack the amount firepower after trading the first two picks they had, the 29th (mentioned above) and 61st (traded for Chandler Jones). The Cardinals really need to get rid of some salary too (mentioned again above), so this solves two problems at the same time.

Now, I know the Cardinals don’t have a lot of pieces because of the above trade, but trust me, the Cardinals could lose Michael Floyd next offseason because there is just too many free agents to take care of, you want to get something for Mike while you have the chance. Doesn’t Mo Wilkerson have a price tag next year? Yeah, but Wilkerson is worth every penny.

Mo could be in the top-5 of his position, with Calais probably in the same category (also top-5), I just think the Cardinals will be able to pay both. Floyd is a middling receiver with a lack of a resume. Sorry Michael.
