2008 Arizona Cardinals Team Needs

Cornerback: Rod Hood and Eric Green are more than serviceable, but the Cardinals could really use a difference maker at corner.  Antrel Rolle might be moved to safety, which is all the more reason Arizona would be wise to draft a cornerback.

Running back: Edgerrin James is an aging veteran that doesn’t fit too well in the Cardinals’ system.  Look for Arizona to try and find a running back in the draft with more speed and burst. 

Defensive End: When Bertrand Berry was injured in 2007, the Cardinals’ pass rush noticably suffered.  In other words, Arizona would benefit from adding depth and competition to the position via the draft.

Wide Receiver: The Cardinals have done a nice job holding onto Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald.  However, the aforementioned duo have had injury issues in the past.  Furthermore, Bryant Johnson left town, leaving a vacancy at the No. 3 wideout position.  Arizona has the freedom to select a wide receiver at any point in the draft.

Draft Candidates: CB Leodis McKelvin, Troy, CB Aqib Talib, Kansas, RB Felix Jones, Arkansas, RB Jamaal Charles, Texas, DE Lawrence Jackson, USC, DE Chris Ellis, Virginia Tech, WR Will Franklin, Missouri, WR Todd Blythe, Iowa State
