The Arizona Cardinals are coming off of back to back division titles, but they lost the heart and soul of their team with the retirement of Kurt Warner. It is up to Matt Leinart to take the reins and pick up where Warner left off.
The Cardinals filled a need on the defensive line with the selection of Dan Williams at #26. Many had him going much higher, and Arizona got a solid defensive tackle without having to trade up to get him. They also got another early steal with Daryl Washington in Round 2 to help cover the loss of Karlos Dansby.
The Cardinals already have Steve Breaston to replace Anquan Boldin, and they shored up their receiving corps with the selection of Andre Roberts. One need Arizona could have addressed in the draft was at offensive tackle.
I do have Arizona with 2 sleeper picks from Day 3. O'Brien Schofield would have been drafted much higher if he had not injured his knee during the Senior Bowl, and John Skelton is a strong armed quarterback they can groom to be the backup to Leinart.
Draft Grade: B+
