Arizona Cardinals draft stock tracker

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.
