Carson Palmer is one of the 20 best first picks in NFL history

The Arizona Cardinals have never been bad enough to have the first overall pick, which with their history seems... Crazy to think about.

Yet, they have been fortunate enough to be able to acquire a former first overall pick in Carson Palmer.

Their trade of two late round picks for Palmer not only revitalized Palmer’s career, but made the Cardinals a consistent threat in the NFC for the first time since Kurt Warner was behind center.

Palmer’s journey through the NFL may be viewed as less than for many, but for NFL.
