Arizona Cardinals missing often with first-round selections

Since becoming the Arizona Cardinals’ general manager in 2013, Steve Keim has presided over seven of the club’s draft classes. The organization, like most of the NFL, has had both hits and misses with their picks. But while many franchises are able to get production out of their first-round choices, it’s been quite the opposite for the Cardinals.

The lack of success with the top selections, with Keim as the head talent evaluator, started right away . The team, sitting in a very enviable position (seventh-overall) in ’13, drafted a guard out of the University of North Carolina.
