With the 31st pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals are on the clock!
The Cardinals enjoyed the most successful season in franchise history this past year with a division title and a trip to the Super Bowl. The Cardinals are in uncharted waters this year as they usually are selecting within the first hour of the draft. Just like any good team, the Cards roster is likely to get raided by other NFL squads. This will create holes that will need to be addressed in the draft.
Last season the Cardinals had an excellent draft getting future Pro Bowl corner Dominic Rogers-Cromartie in the first round, future starter Calais Campbell in the 2nd, Early Doucett in the 3rd and a steal with Tim Hightower in the 5th.
The Cardinals are in a good spot in that they have very few holes and can go ahead and take the best player on the board with their first pick. They are set at corner with DRC and recent free agent signing Bryant McFadden. I suspect the Cards will go with either a RB to fill the spot of the departing Edge James, OL to add some depth or LB. Look for the Cards to grab either Pitt RB LeSean McCoy, Oklahoma gaurd Duke Robinson or Ohio State LB James Laurinatis.
With the 30th pick in the NFL draft, the Tennessee Titans are on the clock!
Awesome work!I really like McCoy for the Cards in the 1st rd.
