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

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.

John Brown, Wide Receiver, Pittsburg State
2013 stats: 61 catches, 1,198 yards, 14 touchdowns as WR; averaged 32.42 yards per kick return and 11.48 yards per punt return
"Coming from a small school and then you produce good, but it's just...If people really want you, they'll find you," Brown said when asked if it ever seemed like the NFL was just a dream that would never happen. "I learned that [Friday], just by these guys believing in me and bringing me in."](https://arizonasports.com/wp-content/uploads/cms/34/3429/342987.jpg)
