picked Malcolm Floyd. Can't say I'm surprised, he is only 1 of 2 they were expected to pick. The other guy was Riley Reiff who I guess by going to #23 wasn't high enough for the Cards to pick.

If he contributes in a big way, it is a good pick. Otherwise, they have Andre Roberts & Early Doucet who are young developing receivers.

Believe it or not. They don't have a lot of weaknesses. They are solid in secondary & linebacking. They have a stack of running backs & receiving seems to be solid especially w/ Floyd. They do need help on the O-line & unless they can sign Calais Campbell, they'll need D-line help. Campbell has an x-factor, makes big plays with his outstretched arms. He has blocked a few kicks, once intercepted Vick in a crucial point of the game by stretching his arm behind that O-line and bringing it down. He has numerous passes batted.

They do need better QB play but I can't imagine putting themselves better off in this draft when they have Kolb & Skelton. All one has to do is outplay the other and we should have a good QB.
