2016 NFL Combine Pt.2

As stated in the previous post the NFL Combine boasted some potentially great superstars in terms of athleticism and versatility. Some of the players the Cardinals should be interested in are Myles Jack (LB), Joshua Perry (LB), Sheldon Day (DT), and Everett Goldson (QB). The two Linebackers are crucial because if we blitz we need to get to the quarterback or at least pressure him. Not to say our linebackers are terrible but they are a work in progress. Myles Jack may not be the biggest linebacker in the draft but he sure can stop any RB in the NFL. He reminds me of a linebacker version of Todd Gurley because both are slick, fast, and very reliable. Joshua Perry is another workhorse Linebacker who led his team (Ohio State) in tackles. He may be overlooked because of all the superstars that on that high-profile team. He is predicted be a second round pick and seems like he could play lots of snaps in his NFL career. On the defensive line we don’t exactly have top of the line players either, but they aren’t that bad either. The majority of our sacks came from Safety and LB blitzes. Sheldon Day is a powerful DT who posed solid numbers at the combine. He too has quite the motor so he can get to the QB whenever he overpowers an offensive lineman. And at the quarterback position Carson Palmer is getting old and retirement is bound within 5 years. Everett Golson is a quarterback who kind of reminds me of Cam Newton. Although he isn’t very expressive but he gets work done. He is a “Dual-Threat QB” because he has quite the arm and can scramble out of the pocket for yardage if necessary.
