The Cardinals finally grabbed some offensive line help in day 3 of the NFL draft when they selected Mississippi OT Bobby Massie in the 4th round, Washington OG Senio Kelemente in the 5th round & Boise St OT Nate Potter in the 7th round. They got good value in all 3 of them, all 3 were projected to be selected higher than the Cardinals actually selected them, all 3 should be able to fight for playing time in time. 6th round pick, DB Justin Bethel from Presbyterian, is a small school sleeper and a freak of an athlete who could surprise. I also like the selection of San Diego St QB Ryan Lindley in the the 6th round, many scouts said he may have the best arm in the draft, he just needs better consistency (the fact that he had 3 offensive coordinators in his time at San Diego St may not have helped in that regards).
Overall, I really liked the Cardinals draft, they finally got someone to replace Anquan Boldin and take some pressure off of Larry Fitzergerald, they got some solid offensive lineman, they got a potential starter at QB, they took a chance on a small school freak who could pay off big and they found a promising young QB that they can groom. Nice job Cards!
