I find it interesting that Peter King said the Cards "want a day 1 starter" in his mock.

If the Cards were sitting 20 or if they had no recent history of success or even if the draft just wasn't all that good, maybe I could convince myself that they'd go QB.
But this is a team that was considered a legit SB contender in '16 who still has David Johnson and a dynamic offense and who is staring down the barrel of a LOADED draft that doesn't see it's first fall off until the mid-teens. They can get a guy at 13 that's no worse a bet than the guy that goes at 2, IMO. That's not necessarily the case at 16-17 but up where the Cards are, there are still guys that will be in the mix for top 5 consideration that will be available to them.
I just can't get there. I could be proven wrong but too much about that simply doesn't make sense.
