22. Arizona Cardinals (via MIA)

After a number of moves back the Arizona Cardinals finally make their pick. True to their word the search for their next quarterback is officially active. Carson Palmer remains the starter for 2017. Beyond that? His age is becoming a bigger and bigger discussion topic. To say nothing of the constant injury risk that looms in the background. They have to start thinking about the future. Somebody to develop on the bench for a year and bring out whenever Palmer is done. <p>Deshone Kizer looks like the exact sort of player Bruce Arians loves at the position: big, smart, with a strong arm that can strike down the field in the vertical game. The issues with him are physical ability. It’s development as a fundamental passer with footwork and mechanics. To say nothing of the lingering questions about his shaky confidence whenever he makes a mistake. These are things Arians knows how to coach, making it a great fit.</p>. QB. Notre Dame. Deshone Kizer . 22. player. 32
