Around this time one year ago the Arizona Cardinals were in the midst of preparing to draft LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson 5th overall.

That worked out pretty well.

But now the Cardinals are back at it, looking to find someone with the 13th pick in the draft. Will the right offensive lineman be available to them? Or maybe the Cardinals finally land a receiver to replace Anquan Boldin.

Take a look and see what's likely in the 2012 Arizona Cardinals Draft Stock Tracker below, and for all the latest rumors check out our Mock Draft Tracker.


Rank Player Reason
#1
Michael Floyd, Notre Dame

Larry Fitzgerald wants him and the Cardinals really enjoyed their visit with the guy. Will Floyd last to 13? The team is probably hoping so.
Rank Player Reason
#2
Riley Reiff, Iowa

Reiff will be the choice, according to ESPN's Mel Kiper and Todd McShay.
Rank Player Reason
#3
Melvin Ingram, S. Carolina

Our own Doug Franz would love to see Ingram there at 13. The odds, though, may not be in their favor.
Rank Player Reason
#4
David DeCastro, Stanford

DeCastro may be the best guard in the draft, but the Cardinals don't need a guard and may look to address other areas.
Rank Player Reason
#5
Cordy Glenn, Georgia

ESPN's Todd McShay says the Cardinals may trade down and take Glenn. Sounds well and good, but would they still take him 13th if no trade happens?
Rank Player Reason
#6
Jonathan Martin, Stanford

The only reason Martin's name has been brought up in connection with the Cardinals is because of their need at tackle. So, he's on the list, but...
Rank Player Reason
#7
Courtney Upshaw, Alabama

Upshaw is projected to go after the Cardinals pick, but would be a solid fit as a linebacker in the team's 3-4 scheme.
Rank Player Reason
#8
Dontari Poe, Memphis

Poe would be solid, but chances are there will be players with more skill who fill a greater need available at 13, especially since the Cardinals took a 3-4 DT in the first round just two years ago.
Rank Player Reason
#9
Mike Adams, Ohio State

Adams will almost surely be there at 13 for the Cardinals, but there are a few tackles they'd take before selecting the talented-but-troubled Adams.
Rank Player Reason
#10
Justin Blackmon, OK State

Would the Cardinals take Blackmon if he was there at 13? Sure. But don't expect him to be there. Don't expect him to be anywhere close to there.

    Love the talk about Martin
    Fantasy doesn't always make good reality. Last time the Cards REACHED for an OT they got Levi brown and passed on the BPA Adrian Peterson. Stupid morons and saboteurs want the Cards to pick Martin. The GUY could not be bothered to hit the weight room any of his years in college. His bench reps were terrible for an OT. If he is not motivated to get better before he gets paid does anyone think he will be more motivated after he gets paid?

    I think that the Cards probably have three
    or four guys on their board at #13 and if they are gone they would try to trade down. 1)Justin Blackmon (2) Riley Reiff (3) David Decastro --**Ingram may be #4 on list, not sure. Glenn, Adams and Martin are the kind of OT's you trade down for and get that 2nd rd. pick as well.

    If Blackmon is there
    you take him. The only way you dont is if you move down a couple of spots and can get a 2nd rd pick since we traded that for the scrub Kolb. guy has the most talent and we cant pass on him like we did AP. Take the best on the board.

    Blackmon
    Did not realize that Blackmon's stock has dropped. That doesn't seem right. Nevertheless, if he's there, that would be huge for the Cards. Blackmon or Upshaw, if available, would be instant-impact players. Please don't reach for a lineman!

    WRs
    I just don't see Blackmon or Floyd being around at 13...too many teams before the Cards need a legit #1 WR. I'd absolutely take either, though. I Reiff is not there at #13, the Cards are better off trading down a few spots to get a 2nd round pick back, then go grab Upshaw from Alabama.

    funny..
    nothing has changed really with the cardinals or their needs since my post on the 17th. and yet somehow the commentary and order of the picks in this post drastically have. no longer is martin even an interest. Decastro doesnt address the biggest need anymore. Floyd went from 6 to 1 in no time flat. Not sure if someone new wrote the latest or what but its funny how something so innacurate can change so fast.
