The Big Red Wolf Report: 2014 Cardinals’ NFL Draft Recap

May 12, 2014, 11:47 PM | Updated: May 13, 2014, 8:03 pm

The 2014 NFL Draft has come and gone, and overall the Arizona Cardinals did well.

Here are a few of my thoughts:

The first pick was Deone Bucannon, a safety out of Washington State. I didn’t know much about this kid other than he was big, played for Wazzu and had a reputation for separating the screws from somebody’s facemask.

But I know the Cards needed safety help.

In the second round the Cards drafted tight end Troy Niklas from Notre Dame and I LOVE this kid. He’s big, strong and capable of holding up at the point of attack!

The Cards have a few more selections I cover in the video, but as I’ve said before: I’m a results based person so no matter how good these guys look on paper, they have to show up on the field to get my approval.
