ARIZONA CARDINALS

There’s no question about it. The Arizona Cardinals have a huge decision to make Thursday night when they mull over the No. 7 pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Following a disappointing 5-11 season and a wholesale regime change, the Cardinals have plenty of holes to fill, and there’s no better place to start than the draft.
With that said, since moving to the Valley, the Cardinals haven’t always had the best eye for talent when it comes to using their top pick.

Here’s a look at the Arizona/Phoenix Cardinals’ five worst top 10 picks based on expectations, where they were selected and how they performed in a Cardinals uniform.
