Arizona is in a nice position this year in that while they are not loaded at every position, they also don't have any glaring weaknesses. Resigning Warner today is a great move, and along with franchising Dansby, signals that the front office feels this team is capable of putting together another playoff run.
Arizona lost JJ Arrington early in free agency and Edgerrin James continues to demand an outright release because of his diminished role. Without those two we would basically place the season's hopes on Tim Hightower, a decent 5th round pick from last year. If it came to it, I am confident we could make James happy by making him the starter, but frankly I think it's clear he's lost a step.
So after analyzing our current roster and comparing that to how the draft is unfolding, I feel now is the time to make a move to solidify the RB position.
For the 31st pick of the draft, the NFC CHAMPION ("whoooooo" clap clap clap) Arizona Cardinals select.......LeSean "Shady" McCoy, RB, Pitt
I gave consideration to waiting until later to take someone like Shonn Green or Arian Foster, but having the chance to take a premium RB talent like McCoy with the 31st pick was too difficult to pass up.
McCoy is a versatile talent that be used in almost any set and his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield is what we feel separates him from the other top backs in this draft class.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out Edge.
