Arizona Cardinals can find draft day 2 receivers

If the Arizona Cardinals pass on a receiver in the first round in the 2020 NFL Draft, they still have plenty of options

Some Arizona Cardinals fans want them to draft one of the top two receivers in the 2020 NFL Draft.  The Cardinals would be wise to skip the receivers given their other needs.

That said, there are still very good options in rounds 2 and 3 of the draft.  It is a very deep draft for receivers.

If they pass on CeeDee Lamb and Jerry Jeudy, these are the best options after them that will be available, or at least should be available in day 2.  Some still think Lamb is the guy though.

LSU’s Justin Jefferson is a possibility.  There is also South Carolina’s Bryan Edwards.  We’ve discussed the possibility in the past of USC’s Michael Pittman Jr.

If we know the Cardinals like we think they do, they will go with someone completely off the radar.  It could be in day 2 but if this is the case this year, the receiver likely comes in round 4 through 7 on day 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Liberty’s Antonio Gandy-Golden has good size at 6’4.  He’s about the same size as Pittman but rated slightly lower.  If they pass on Pittman Jr. for another position, he could be the guy.

A guy not talked about much so far could be a very good professional receiver is Notre Dame’s Chase Claypool.  He has great hands and has the size of Pittman Jr. or Gandy-Goldman.

Claypool caught 66 passes for 1,037-yards and 13 touchdowns.  He was the go-to guy in South Bend.  He would be a great early-mid round pick somewhere in rounds 3 to 5 but don’t be surprised if he doesn’t last that long.

The Cardinals shouldn’t draft a receiver just to draft a receiver though unless they are really in love with what they already have.  Some fans seem to think they shouldn’t be but right now only the Cardinals front office has the true answer to that and they probably don’t really know yet either.
