The NFL draft is less than two weeks away, and there's no better time than the present to take a closer look at which prospects make sense for each team.
We'll go through each division to pair prospects with each team on Days 1, 2 and 3 of the draft. (Even if a team does not have a pick on a given day -- for example, the Patriots on Day 1 -- we'll still recommend a player, as trades can always change the draft order.)
Important note: This is not a mock draft. We aren't predicting where players will land. Rather, we're identifying a few prospects who fill a need and/or fit what each team likes to do schematically.
Here's a breakdown of the NFC West.
Arizona Cardinals
Day 1 (pick No. 13): Kevin King, CB, Washington
The Cardinals need to find a starter opposite Patrick Peterson. Marcus Cooper signed with the Bears, Justin Bethel struggled at corner and Arizona reached for a developmental prospect last year, drafting third-round pick Brandon Williams. I've already said the Saints could target King at No. 11, but the Cardinals would do well to land him if he gets to 13. At 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds with 32-inch arms and 4.43 speed, King has the tools to match up with bigger receivers on an island. His exceptional performance in the short-shuttle (3.98) and three-cone (6.56) show he's fluid enough to blanket receivers underneath, too.
