After reading about these rookies, one realizes there is so much more than having high draft picks to being successful in the draft. Makes one appreciate Belichick's habit of trading back in the draft and picking up lots of mid to late round picks. 10 Rookie Draft Steals

Some of it it talent. Some of it is opportunity. Almost all of those players were given the chance to take a spot and not all teams give those opportunities.

I will say I like this draft class for the Cardinals way more than most.

I feel like there is a good chance Hayes, Smith, Ingram, Sanders - and maybe even Cam Thomas all have a chance to be starter level players eventually.

The guy I am actually most diapointed with is McBride who I thought on draft night was the only pick I felt good about.

How can you be disappointed in McBride? Can you please wait like at least one meaningful game with Murray throwing him the ball before judging? Everyone that has seen him at practice has said he’s an exceptional blocker & an effortless catcher of the football. I’m still most excited to watch him with a real QB throwing him the football.
