Lorenzo Alexander: Shaq Riddick 'a great project,' Markus Golden 'a little bit further along'

The Arizona Cardinals wanted to get younger, longer and faster at outside linebacker this offseason. They wanted to improve their pass rush. By switching Kareem Martin to outside linebacker and drafting Markus Golden and Shaq Riddick, it appears the Cardinals have accomplished at least the younger, longer and faster goal.

Veteran linebacker Lorenzo Alexander spoke with NBC Sports 1060 AM's Ed Cole recently and gave his thoughts on the two draft picks -- Golden and Riddick.

Alexander said the two players "are kind of opposite ends" in terms of their development and what they can accomplish this year.
