Arizona Cardinals
Scouts Inc. on 2015 class
(1) 24 D.J. Humphries, T, Florida
What he brings: He might have the best movement skills of any offensive tackle in this class, and he's best-suited for a team that runs a zone-blocking scheme that takes advantage of that quickness and athleticism and masks his lack of ideal power, particularly as a run-blocker.
How he fits: This is an intriguing pick considering Arizona allowed just 28 sacks last year, the team's fewest since 2009 (26). Plus, the Cardinals need to improve their ground game and upgrade over right offensive tackle Bobby Massie. Humphries is a left tackle who is better in pass protection than he is run blocking, so it will be interesting to see of the Cardinals move Jared Veldheer to the right side. Humphries isn't a bad value at this point, though, and the Cardinals needed to address an offense that finished 24th in scoring last year.
(2) 58 Markus Golden, DE, Missouri
What he brings: He's a very productive pass-rusher with his first-step quickness and powerful strike. He's a bit of a tweener, however, as he doesn't have elite strength to play defensive end and doesn't have much experience as a 3-4 outside linebacker. But he's a tone-setter with an outstanding motor.
How he fits: Arizona wanted to get faster at linebacker coming into the draft, and while Golden has average timed top-end speed, there's still a lot to like about this pick. He's a good value pick at this point thanks in large part to his ability to get after the quarterback. The Cardinals finished with 35 sacks last year, the team's lowest amount since 2010.
(3) 86 David Johnson, RB, Northern Iowa
What he brings: Johnson is a bigger back, although he doesn't break as many tackles as you'd like to see from a guy his size. Still, he's an effective runner, and he is a highly productive pass-catcher out of the backfield. He has very good vision at the line of scrimmage and in the open field.
How he fits: Arizona needed a big back to complement Andre Ellington, who landed on injured reserve with a sports hernia injury last year (only the Browns and Raiders averaged fewer yards after contact per rush than the Cardinals in 2014). While he doesn't have elite power for a bigger back, Johnson still picks up yards after contact thanks to his effort and size.
(4) 116 Rodney Gunter, DT, Delaware St.
What he brings: Gunter has a quality combination of size, strength and point-of-attack skills. He is at his best against the run where he displays heavy hands and above-average upper-body power. He has adequate quickness that provides him with upside as a pass-rusher. However he is raw in this area and needs to improve his technique.
(5) 158 Shaq Riddick, DE, West Virginia
What he brings: Riddick projects as an outside linebacker who has excellent length (6-6, 244) and brings quality athleticism. He has upside as a pass-rusher with a quick first step and adequate flexibility bending the edge. However, he is a bit lean in his lower half, will struggle in a phone booth against more powerful blockers and lacks ideal speed to power.
(5) 159 WR J.J. Nelson, UAB
What he brings: Nelson lacks ideal size (5-10, 156), is extremely raw as a route runner and has inconsistent ball skills on tape. However, he has world-class speed and is extremely dangerous with the ball in his hands, particularly as a returner on special teams, which is where he will need to excel if he wants to stick in the league.
(7) 256 Gerald Christian, TE, Louisville
What he brings: Christian is a Florida transfer who is light for a Y or blocking tight end and doesn't have great top-end speed or the change-of-direction skills for an F or receiving tight end. On the other hand, he has the massive hands to pluck the ball out of the air, he flashes the ability to separate from linebackers underneath, and he is above average locating seams in zone looks. He is also an adequate positional blocker with above-average upper-body strength. He flashes the ability to shoot his hands inside and lock on.
Mel Kiper's Draft Grade: C+
Mel Kiper: The Cardinals were a team many of us saw taking Melvin Gordon if the Wisconsin RB were available at No. 24, in part because the roster really doesn't have any gaping holes in spots you typically target with premium picks. Turns out, it was never even close with Gordon. D.J. Humphries was a bit of a reach on my board, but I can understand the pick as they look for competition at right tackle. General manager Steve Keim has made improving the O-line a priority from Day 1, and he wants to continue improving there. They needed to add a pass-rusher, and they got Markus Golden in Round 2, then Shaq Riddick in Round 5. I don't see quite the same ability in Golden, but the need there was certainly addressed. David Johnson has a chance to help them right away at running back. He has good size and also offers good hands. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he breaks out in one of the next two seasons. J.J. Nelson is a miniature burner and could be someone to watch in the return game -- he'll run under 4.3, which he needs to since he's under 160 pounds. It was going to be hard to add a player who was sure to be an immediate starter, which is a credit to the state of the roster, but I didn't like the value too much with either of the top two picks.
Todd McShay's favorite pick
Round 3 (86): David Johnson, RB, Northern Iowa
First-round pick D.J. Humphries is an outstanding athlete at left tackle; he just needs to get stronger against power rushers. Second-rounder Markus Golden is a bit of a tweener at defensive end/outside linebacker, but he plays with a relentless motor. I'll go with Johnson here. The Cardinals needed a running back, and at this point in the third round there were many potential impact guys remaining. Johnson doesn't play as big as you'd expect for his size, but his pass-catching ability makes up for it. Northern Iowa used him as a de facto receiver at times.
