There was a time several years ago where the Arizona Cardinals and first round picks were synonymous with “failure” under the current General Manager.
Even national media sources would point out the lackluster return on the top yearly investment that the team was making.
Cardinals first-round picks under Steve Keim:
2013: G Jonathan Cooper
2014: LB/DB Deone Bucannon
2015: T D.J. Humphries
2016: DE Robert Nkemdiche
2017: LB Haason Reddick
2018: QB Josh Rosen
Have to hope Kyler Murray bucks the trend.— Bill Barnwell (@billbarnwell) July 28, 2019In the time since the Murray move, (which was either loved or hated depending on your perspective) Keim’s sought a bit of redemption with some oft-praised trades for Deandre Hopkins and Rodney Hudson.
