Scouting in the NFL involves far more than evaluating college prospects for the draft in April and accurately assessing players available when free agency starts in March.
It also includes knowing the potential weaknesses on your roster when training camp opens in July and developing a plan to address them, if needed.
Under General Manager Steve Keim, the Cardinals have had success in doing that over the last four years.
In 2013, they added pass rusher John Abraham and tackle Eric Winston near the start of camp.
In 2014, defensive tackle Tommy Kelly was signed in August to help compensate for the loss of Darnell Dockett to a knee injury.
