The 2020 Draft Wrap Up

The draft has come and gone, and the Cardinals’ class this year is one of the more surprising groups I think I’ve ever seen. For a club with a long-standing (and mostly deserved), reputation for having a conservative approach to the amateur draft, the Redbirds may have been the most aggressive team of all this year. Well, within the top two or three most aggressive clubs, anyway; ‘aggressive’ is really a pretty subjective adjective here, and depending upon how you wanted to look at things certain teams’ approaches might jump out. Regardless of the criteria, though, I feel like the Cardinals have to be in that conversation as taking one of the most aggressive approaches, one of the most high risk/high reward focused draft classes of any team this year.
