I can't really say who the team is going to select but they probably will go this direction:

1) DE or WR, A DT is possible if it could mean opening up Bryant and if the DT has his own pass rush skills to begin with. If Suggs is there it might be a no-brainer.

2) DE or WR, will address what did didn't get in round one for a need position.

3) CB, C, DT, Al johnson is still around then probably C, DT because the class is deep and some real talent could still be available, CB because we are in a pass happy division and we could use some quality players with size and speed and might not want to gamble to far down.

4) DT or WR, DT if one is not selected in round 3 or a WR to help the success rate since the draft is a crap shoot.

5),6),6),7) I feel we will go with the best players available regardless of position even if it means a late round QB, TE, or LB.

McCown was drafted for a reason and I don't see the Cardinals going for a QB in the early rounds even if Leftwhich is available but I wouldn't fault them if they did.

<p><font color=red>I don't mean to be picky, but do you think the Cards will really draft a center in the 3rd round when they already have 3 centers on the roster?</font>

Yes. Starkey is the best center out of the three and that is sad.

We're talkin' a center that will anchor the line for 10 years.

I think

the Cards could end up with a qb. So much depends on what the 1st five teams do. It's very possible that the best player available will be a qb. when the Cards pick.
