13. Arizona Cardinals

13. player. 32. Beefing up the front seven is certainly something the Arizona Cardinals know they must do this off-season. Lately they’ve made due with a pair of decent inside linebackers but no playmakers at the position. Nobody who can impact the game. Finding somebody of the like would be an instant help to their run defense and also create more flexibility with their complex blitzing schemes. Thankfully the board falls their way on this. <p>Zach Cunningham needed to do a lot in order to get noticed out of a lesser program like Vanderbilt. Despite having limited talent around him, the linebacker continued to showcase his instinct, toughness, range and tackling prowess. One of those defenders who does all the dirty work, cleaning up after teammates. He made some big plays for them in 2016 and showcases the kind of skill set that could make him a Day 1 starter in the NFL.</p>. ILB. Vanderbilt. Zach Cunningham
