As for BPA versus need, this will be the first time I bring up something I know I will repeat often -- when teams, including the Cardinals, create their top 100 (or whatever) draft list from which to pick from, part of the equation in ranking those players includes need. Fortunately or unfortunately, a lot of the guys considered the best in the draft also are spots where the Cards could use an upgrade. And if they think Tua Tagovailoa is, say, the fifth-best player in the draft and he's on the board when they pick, guess what? They won't be choosing him. As for the particular part of WR out there and the three the Cards took last year, are you saying the Cardinals would be distracted by the shiny new wide receivers and shouldn't just because they drafted three last year?
