5th round:

Cole Toner, T, Harvard

Why he fits in Arizona: You can usually never go wrong with a guy who has talent and strength and then add smarts to the equation. You will be getting that with Toner. He is known to be aggressive rather than passive.

Why he might not fit in Arizona: There are concerns with his foot movement and getting stood up quickly by speed rushers. There is a concern with Toner about his level of competition but you will get that from any player drafted out of the Ivy League.

Grade: B-. Again, not a lot known about Toner from Cardinals fans perspective but scouts had seen enough of him to project him as a sixth or seventh round pick. The Cardinals went for him at the end of the fifth round, so not too much of a reach. Worth the risk in this situation.
