Bleacher Report’s NFL Draft Lead Analyst Matt Miller posted his final mock draft this morning prior to the beginning of tonight’s opening round. He has 8 Cardinals in his final draft, headlined by his tenth overall prospect, Devante Parker.
Let’s look at how he sees the future of our former Cardinals unfolds.
Houston Texans // Round 1, Pick 16, DeVante Parker
Cincinnati Bengals // Round 2, Pick 53, Gerod Holliman
San Diego Chargers // Round 3, Pick 83, Lorenzo Mauldin
Dallas Cowboys // Round 3, Pick 91, James Sample
Seattle Seahawks // Round 4, Pick 130, Charles Gaines
Washington Redskins // Round 5, Pick 141, John Miller
Kansas City Chiefs // Round 6, Pick 217, Deiontrez Mount
New York Jets // Round 7, Pick 224, Jamon Brown
Quick Observations:
-My Titans fandom is shattered once again.
-Notable absences of BJ Dubose and Michael Dyer though both will likely find homes as undrafted free agents.
-I really like Devante Parker to Houston. Outside of my shattered Titans fandom, Parker would start from day 1. I disagree that he will last till the 16th pick.
-Lorenzo Mauldin to the Chargers is an ideal fit for scheme and style of play. I’ll always be rooting for Lozo and his continued success on and off the field. One of the most beloved Cardinals of all-time.
-Charles Gaines fits the Seahawks in terms of the Legion Of Boom mentality. He will be able to hone his craft under arguably one of the best players at his position.
-John Miller will be a steal in round 5 to the Redskins or whomever takes him. I love his potential in the NFL.
