Top 5 offensive players the Arizona Cardinals must keep an eye on at the NFL Combine

While the Arizona Cardinals could sign a big time center in free agency, they may opt for the type of player you start from Day One and beyond. John Michael Schmitz is one of those players, and he will be there at the beginning of the second round.
If the Cards feel he can be an adequate replacement for Rodney Hudson, they should snag him without a second thought. No, it’s not a glamorous pick, but from as poor as play has been at center over the past few seasons, not a single fan in the Red Sea will be disappointed here.
Clearly, this list is just a starting point. After the NFL Combine concludes, we will be able to dock a few offensive players from this list and add some newbies, considering on how things play out. In short, it's going to be one interesting week.
