With the NFL Draft just a little more than two weeks away the heavyweights are starting to give you the info you need.
Peter Schrager, now of ESPN and still of NFL Network (I think at least) dropped his first of two mock drafts he does a year.
When Schrager talks, everyone should listen.
From ESPN:
3. Arizona Cardinals
Arvell Reese, LB/Edge, Ohio State
As part of the loaded NFC West, Arizona has to face three of the NFL’s best teams twice every season, and the defense was frankly not very good last year, allowing 28.7 points
per game (29th). Reese fills a need in Arizona as a potentially elite pass rusher, and I’ve heard rave reviews on what he can bring off the field from coaches. With the changing of eras in Arizona, the Cards should be seeking out new cornerstone pieces like Reese this month. Speaking of which: One wild card to watch here is Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love.
Reese is considered by many the best player in this class, but I think those people don’t have to make a decision on where he plays, and thus can just say he is a great football player and not have to worry. Meanwhile, fans and decisions makers have to decide if he can be another Micah Parsons who can play all over.
What are your thoughts on the Cardinals taking Reese at three?
