Bickley: Cardinals must take the plunge and move up to get their next impact quarterback

azcentral sports' Jay Dieffenbach and Dan Bickley weigh in on Alex Rodriguez's announcing gig and the Arizona Cardinals in the NFL draft.

Sports is full of sucker bets. Like trading the farm to select a college quarterback who might flame out in the NFL, unable to read a defense, unable to take snaps from center, unable to hit a wide-open receiver breaking free as a second option.

It’s time for the Cardinals to take the plunge.

These adventures come with an exorbitant price tag. To move up one pick in the 2017 NFL draft, the Bears gave up a bounty to acquire their quarterback of choice, Mitchell Trubisky.
