2021 NFL Mock Draft Tracker: Arizona Cardinals 16th pick gives them a bevy of options

The Arizona Cardinals need help at a number of key positions.

There is an old saying, well a new saying that feels old, that you draft creators and pay preventers.

Meaning, you draft players that create touchdowns; wide receivers and running backs, and pay the preventers; offensive line, corners and pass rushers. That is interesting when you look at how the Cardinals have built, as they have drafted receivers (not well) and paid preventers, but it has been their fascination with trying to find a linebacker that has really prevented them from doing much of anything.
