It's been a crazy 12 months and I haven't had much time to do my usual Cardinals mock draft so here it goes.
To start with I have no problem with Keim using draft capitol to trade for marquee players like Hopkins and Hudson. With that said I do believe that the Cardinals would like to add another day 2 pick if they can find a trade partner in the first round. For this exercise I'm staying with the current picks. Here is my Cardinal Mock v1.0 assuming that the Cardinals say put.
Round 1: No. 16 - Caleb Farley CB V.Tech
6'2" 197lbs
With PP moving on the Cardinals need all the help that they can get in the defensive backfield. Farley fits the mold of what the Cardinals look for in a CB. Farley is a Long CB with great speed and ball skills. He adds instant depth to a position that has major concerns. With so many teams using multiple WR sets, Farley sees the field on day one for the Cardinals.
Round 2: No. 49 - Rondale Moore WR Purdue
5'9" 180lbs
I fell in love with Moore after his amazing freshman season. Injuries and Covid have put a damper on him since. Still I believe that he is an explosive playmaker who is lightning fast and can be used in may ways. He is like Kyler in the open field and incredibly difficult to tackle. Plus he has the speed to take the top off a defense. Another weapon for Kyler to grow with although both have peaked out height wise.
Round 5: No. 160 - Jaret Patterson RB Buffalo
5'7" 195lbs
I'm still not comfortable with the RB position and Patterson would shore it up. This kid is built so low to the ground he is impossible to take down. He doesn't dance around or hesitate and hits the hole with authority. In just six games for 2020, the Buffalo running back rushed for 1,072 yards and 19 touchdowns. As a bonus Kyler will finally be able to look down at a teammate for once.
Round 6: No. 223 - Larry Borom G Mizzou
6'6" 325lbs
Borom is a mauller who played OT in College but most likely will need to slide into G in the NFL. He would add some youth and versatility to the Cardinals OL.
Round 7: No. 243 - Demar Hamilin S Pitt
6'1" 200lbs
Hard hitting safety with good length. Will provide additional depth to the Cardinals defensive backfield. Plus with Fitz most likely retiring it's time for another player from Pitt to join the Cardinals.
Round 7: No. 247 - Kylen Granson TE SMU
6'2" 241lbs
Granson is a pass catching TE who would fill the roll that Dan Arnold had last season. His athleticism makes him a matchup problem for LBs. While he is more of a receiving TE he isn't afraid to get down and dirty in the blocking game.
