The Arizona Cardinals are up next in our Reader’s Mock Draft.  Check out all the results so far here.

The Cardinals had a big swing and miss with quarterback Kevin Kolb and it appears they’ll start over again at the position.     If there was a team with a worse offensive line than the Chicago Bears, it may very well have been the Arizona Cardinals.   The bad news for the Cardinals is that the top two OT’s are off the board in our Mock Draft.  Do they reach for Lane Johnson or do they take the top OG prospect Chance Warmack.  I’ve heard the Cards are sniffing around Carson Palmer with expectations of the Raiders cutting him.  Could they take a shot at USC quarterback Matt Barkley?  Do they try to bolster their defense?
