The best choice for the Arizona Cardinals at this point in the Draft appears to be at corner. The team lost longtime franchise great, Patrick Peterson to the Minnesota Vikings in free agency. While Byron Murphy has shown promise for the Cardinals, the team would be hard press to pass on a great corner here at 16.
If the team could land a player like Caleb Farley or Jaycee Horn, they will have a great, young and athletic duo on the outsides of their defense for years to come.
Both Farey and Horn have been moving in opposite directions the last few months.
Jaycee Horn has been shooting up draft boards due to impressive athleticism on display leading up to the draft. There is a very good chance that Horn goes inside the top-10 in this draft.
On the other hand, Farley, once viewed as the potential top corner in the Draft, has been falling due to concerns surrounding a back injury that will require surgery.
If the Cardinals have the opportunity to select either player, they will take another step forward on defense next season.
