Today, I am going to focus on the Cardinals’ pattern under GM Steve Keim to compound failed draft picks by signing veterans whom Michael Bidwill and Keim believe will excite the fan base and give the impression that the Cardinals FO are doing everything they can to please the fans.
Cases in point:
- Trading G Jonathan Cooper (Keim’s 1st draft pick as GM in 2013) and replacing him with UFA G Evan Mathis coming off a back injury.
- Poorly developing ILB Kevin Minter (2nd Round 2013) and replacing him with Karlos Dansby (2017), who was a shell of his former self.
