Yesterday, I offered praise to Steve Keim for his 2019 off-season moves to date. I believe he deserves credit for the deals he’s made thus far.
Yesterday’s thread was about the present.
However, it still is very difficult to ignore Steve Keim’s past failures in the draft and his repeated struggles to maintain an acceptable modicum of roster continuity via re-signing his draft picks to second contracts.
In Steve Keim’s 6 plus years as the Cardinals’ GM, he has only re-signed two draft picks (Tyrann Mathieu and David Johnson) to multi-year second contracts, and both of those over-inflated top dollar contracts were awarded a year before the player’s 4th year and each on the heels of a season ending injury.
