Cardinals select Louisville TE Gerald Christian with “Mr. Irrelevant” pick

All things considered, “Mr. Irrelevant” didn’t get a bad draw this year.

With the final selection in the 2015 NFL Draft — long dubbed the Mr. Irrelevant pick — the Cardinals took Louisville tight end Gerald Christian 256th overall.

The 6-foot-3, 244-pound Christian appears to have a puncher’s chance to make the Cardinals’ roster. Arizona doesn’t have exceptional depth at tight end, and Christian might have a shot at winning the third spot on the depth chart behind Troy Niklas and John Carlson.

A four-star Rivals.com recruit, Christian began his college career at Florida before transferring to Louisville.
