Josh Jones is a gift from the Football Gods

What just happened?

The Arizona Cardinals woke up Friday morning hoping to secure a quality, developmental player at pick 72. They ended the day with a first round caliber right tackle.

Josh Jones, projected by many as a top 40 pick, fell to Steve Keim in a miraculous twist of fate for a team that is desperate for young building blocks upfront.

Jones was a player Arizona met with during the pre draft process, but after the team opted not to trade down from the eighth overall selection on Thursday, an acquisition of the former Cougar seemed farfetched.
