5. Brandon Lafell

With size and experience, he could be a nice fit in the Desert

Bengals Wide Receiver, Brandon Lafell has had a nice first year in Cincinnati. The seventh-year wide out has caught 51 passes for 665 yards and 5 touchdowns through 14 games. Lafell has emerged as a big target for Andy Dalton, When Bengals star receiver went down with a hamstring injury, Lafell stepped in nicely.

What could he bring to Arizona?

Height and experience. At 6-3, Lafell is a big target and a mismatch on the field. Recently released former Cardinals receiver, and now Patriots receiver Michael Floyd is 6-3. So Lafell would fill that void nicely. He also has seven years of experience. At 30 years old he has learned and played with some NFL stars such as Steve Smith Sr. and AJ Green. Lafell has also been pretty consistent through his NFL career. Posting 500+ yard seasons since 2011. If Lafell isn’t resigned by the Bengals and is available the Cardinals should take a look.
