2017 NFL Mock Draft: Early Trade Blitz Seeks Pressure

Bruce Arians isn’t a fool. He knows the window to win a championship is closing on the Arizona Cardinals. Carson Palmer turns 37-years old at the end of December. It looks like he’s begun to fade in terms of his playmaking ability. Currently the Cardinals don’t have a young buck waiting in the wings to take over when he hangs up the cleats. So they make the calculated decision to go find one while the opportunity is there for the taking. <p>Mitch Trubisky is the hot name of the 2017 class. He really did almost come out of nowhere. A first-year starter at North Carolina, the junior has torn up most of the defenses he’s seen so far this season. He’s got size, a good arm, stands poise in the pocket and can deliver the ball with timing and accuracy. He’s also an athlete, able to move well and extend plays. Arians, a noted QB guru, would be able to do wonders with his game.</p>. QB. North Carolina. Mitch Trubisky . 3. player. 32
