Arizona Cardinals April Fools Day Mock Draft
By Jeremy Meek
Tanoh Kpassagnon could eventually be the replacement for Calais Campbell
The biggest loss of this off-season was, arguably, defensive end Calais Campbell. The veteran was not only an anchor on the field, but was a leader in the locker room, and a fan favorite. Finding someone who can make up for that loss won’t be easy.
There are a few options for Campbell’s spot for the coming season. Robert Nkemdiche was drafted in the first round last year, but hasn’t shown he’s ready to start. Rodney Gunter has some experience, but is a limited player. Josh Mauro is another option, but is also young and unproven as a starter.
Tanoh Kpassagnon is a physical specimen who is incredibly put together. He has great size, at 6’7″ and 289 pounds, and he produced as well. He recorded 11 sacks in 2016, and had 21 1/2 tackles for a loss. He’s raw, and there are some who don’t think he fits in a 3-4 defense, but it’s worth a shot anyway.
