Team Needs: Arizona Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals- They had an excellent start to last season going 4-0. In those first 4 games they beat two teams that would later make the playoffs in Seattle and New England. After those games the teams proceeded to go 1-11 and see the head coach get fired and Bruce Arians and his Vertical style offense be brought in.

Key 2012 Statistics:

Free Agency:
Key Losses: S Adrian Wilson, S Kerry Rhodes, RB Beanie Wells, WR Early Doucet, LB Quinton Groves, CB William Gay, QB Kevin Kolb
Key Additions: CB Antoine Cason, DE Matt Shaughnessy, RB Rashard Mendenhall, QB Carson Palmer, LB Jasper Brinkley, DE Frostee Rucker

Draft Needs:
Offensive Line: When you rank as the worst team in sacks allowed, and 32nd in your rush offense it doesn't bode well for your big men upfront. OLG is the only sure thing on this offensive line with Darryn College but after that this team needs help at each starting position and depth.

Safety: The Cardinals cut both their safeties from one of the top passing defenses in the league last year. The addition of Yeremiah Bell will give you a starting safety replacement. Rashad Johnson and James Sanders provide depth but are not starting caliber safeties.

Cornerback: This is a depth decision only. With both Patrick Peterson and Antoine Cason on the outside the team needs to find itself a quality slot cornerback.

Quarterback: While I think Carson Palmer will be a good addition he isn't a long term solution. I see the Cardinals looking later in the draft for a QB Arian's can look to develop.

Linebacker: While I think Jasper Brinkley was a great addition to the defense, the loss of Daryl Washington the first 4 games and the lack of depth at the position could call for an early draft pick to be used.
