Arizona Cardinals must avoid a common tendency in the 2019 NFL Draft

Since 2013, Arizona Cardinals’ general manager Steve Keim has drafted five wide receivers. On average, those wide receivers record a 4.36-second 40-yard-dash time, which is .13-seconds less than the average for NFL wide receivers between 2000 and 2012.

That 4.36-second time is excellent before you consider that just two of Keim’s drafted receivers on are on the roster — Christian Kirk and Chad Williams, the latter of the two being buried on the depth chart after a disappointing second season.

When you take out Kirk’s slowest time of 4.47-seconds, the group averages a 40-yard-dash in 4.
