Thanks to since61’s suggestion, let’s take a glimpse of how the Cardinals’ 2022 homegrown talent stacks up in comparison to the 2015 and 2008 squads.
The way that I make the talent assessments is based primarily on how gifted the draft picks and college free agents were at the time in which they were drafted. For long-time Cardinal fans draftniks like since61, many of you and myself, it’s fairly easy to make the comparisons.
For example, in my opinion, the most gifted guard the Cardinals drafted during this span was Jonathan Cooper from North Carolina, who was Steve Keim’s first draft pick as GM.
