I love G/T Quessenberry. He has him going to us in the 4th round.
1. Geno Smith, QB, WVU. I like the talent---the temptation would be to play him early and in his case I'm not so sure that's a good thing. But, if we took him as the QBOF under Carson Palmer for a year or two, that would be ideal.
2. Arthur Brown, OLB, Kansas St. Absolutely love this pick. This kid is Navarro Bowman---esque and would be a dynamic pairing with D-Wash. Might be the best tackler in the entire draft.
3. Robert Alford, CB, SE Louisiana. Ran a 4.38 at the combine and has the speed and quickness you want in a nickel back. Great pick.
4. David Quessenberry, G/T, San Jose St. I think he is a perfect fit in our zone blocking scheme. He's 6-5, 294 and has good feet and plays with good leverage. Thought he played extremely well at RG in the Senior Bowl. Was considered the best pass protecting LT in the WAC for the last two years.
5. A.J. Klein, ILB, Iowa St. Again one of the better tacklers in the draft. We need depth at ILB. He would also be a STs ace, which the Cardinals have been addressing in the 5th round for a few years now.
6. Earl Wolff, SS, NC State. This another great pick. Wolff is tough and a big hitter. Always around the ball. Lacks height, otherwise he would be taken earlier. Could be another SS steal from Keim's alma mater, a la AW.
7. Sam Brenner, G, Utah. Sleeper pick here. Very good zone blocking guard whose stock fell last year when he suffered a scary neck injury. He's fine and rebounded with a very good senior year which garnered him 2nd Team All Pac-12. Allowed only 1 sack in 743 plays. Played some LT too, like Quessenberry.
