Cardinals walk away with WR #2 with speed, a beast of a DT, one of the most disruptive Edges in the draft, a OT for the future, a possible future starter at ILB, and a fast return man.

Character issues aside, Mike Green is exactly what the defense needs. He's quick, bendy, and plays intensely.

Donovan Jackson gives the Cardinals an IOL stud to build around and upgrade over Evan Brown or battle it out with Adams on the interior.

Schwesinger can slowly be worked in as a starter at ILB and will bolster ST in the short run. He's quick, instinctive and would be one of the best off the ball prospects the Cardinals have had in some time.

Tez Johnson might be small and not super fast, but he's got some dog in him and he knows how to get open.

Ollie Gordon is my kind of back: big bruiser who punishes defenses.

Cornelius is a developmental tackle with good traits.

The Cardinals are offered a trade by Buffalo to move up to get Derrick Harmon who has an intriguing blend of traits. The Cardinals can make this trade because they can go quite a few ways and a lot of good players are still on the board. Getting the additional 2nd round pick is a massive win for moving down but still staying in the 1st round.

When Grant falls, the Cardinals call up the Vikings and shrewdly offer a package of two day two picks which the Vikings accept. The Vikings make this move because they want a CB and have the tier of available CBs all closely graded.

The Cardinals get a guy in Grant that they would have strongly considered with #16 if they had stayed. Grant adds another big body to the IDL and suddenly a group of Tomlinson, Grant, Robinson, Stills, Jones, and Nichols looks pretty solid. This is a group that should be better against the run and pass. There are a few guys who should be able to get some rush.

Taking Egbuka at this point would a make a ton of sense. Egbuka is a dependable multi role receiver who has excelled as a #2 in the past. He can play outside or in the slot, but I envision him being a slot and giving the Cardinals a receiver who can really block well on the inside.

I don't care where the pundits have Stewart ranked, he's going to go higher than many are projecting. Analytics say he was the best pass rusher in the nation and I envision him being the Hassan Reddick type rusher that's worked well in the Gannon scheme.

At this point in the draft it's time to gamble on an OL with some traits. Cameron Williams is a massive man. His game needs some work but he's worth the effort.

Tuten adds more speed to the backfield. The only RB the Cardinals have right now with plus speed. Tuten is a big play threat and could be tried as a return man as well.

Stutsman is an assignment sound football player with ok athletic traits and he's performed at a high level against decent competition. The Cardinals need to take some chances on some ILBs.

Finally, getting Rucker at this point in the draft gives some more insurance. I'd expect a good battle between Thomas and Rucker. Rucker is a very violent, intense pass rusher.
