The NFL draft continues with the second and third rounds Friday night in Philadelphia. The Arizona Cardinals have the 13th pick as the evening begins and we’ll have you covered with updates and analysis throughout the first round, and live reports from the Cardinals facility.
Cardinals trade up to get Washington Safety Budda Baker
Well, they traded up to get their man, but it’s not a quarterback.
For what they gave up, though, you’d have thought the Cardinals were certainly going after a QB. Instead, they sent their fourth- and sixth-round pick this year, plus their fourth-round pick in 2018, to the Bears to move up nine spots and select Washington safety Budda Baker.
The Cardinals also will get the Bears’ seven-round pick this year.
They love Baker, but that’s a ton to give up for a defensive back. Almost makes me wish they would have taken Kizer instead. Especially if he turns out to be as good as he thinks he is.
The good thing is, the Cardinals’ secondary just got faster and better.

If you want him, get him
We heard from Bruce Arians how badly he and the Cardinals apparently wanted Paxton Lynch and Dak Prescott. He said both quarterbacks got plucked before the Cardinals could draft them,
OK then, don’t let it happen again.
If the Cardinals are eyeballing a quarterback of the future that they truly like – and word is that Arians loves Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer – don’t mess around and trade up to get him.
The Cardinals have the 13th pick in the second round, but teams like the Chargers, Jets, Saints and Bills are all ahead of them and might be intrigued enough to take Kizer first. The Browns, in desperate need of a franchise QB, might also trade up to get Kizer before anyone.
Let’s see how this one develops.
Packers open to trade
Green Bay GM Ted Thompson told anyone who would listen that he was more than willing to trade the first overall pick in Round 2 – for a price.
The prize could be Notre Dame QB DeShone Kizer, Cal QV Davis Webb, Alabama tackle Cam Robinson, Florida State running back Dalvin Cook or a plethora of defensive backs and defensive linemen.
Who will bite? Well, these teams could be eyeing a quarterback – San Francisco, Jacksonville, Arizona, San Diego, Pittsburgh and the Jets and the Bills.

G Forrest Lamp, Western Kentucky
