Rodney Gunter to Arizona Cardinals: Full Draft Pick Breakdown

The Arizona Cardinals knew that nine rookies would struggle to make their final 53-man roster, so the team packaged picks to get its guy in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL draft. With the No. 116 pick acquired from the Cleveland Browns, the Cardinals selected defensive end Rodney Gunter of Delaware State.

To move up for Gunter, the Cardinals paid a heavy price. Arizona traded picks No. 123, 198 and 241 overall.

Rodney Gunter is the first player drafted that wasn't on my board.
