With less than 24 hours before the start of the 2012 NFL Draft, NFL fans in all corners of the globe are waiting with faded breath for who their favorite teams will be selecting this year.
NFL.com's Chad Reuter has been keeping himself uber-busy with his complete seven round mock draft, with each and every pick made by the Arizona Cardinals mapped out. You can check out his selections below.
First round:
13. Cordy Glenn, OT/OG, Georgia. The Cardinals must find a tackle to pair with Levi Brown, and Glenn showed scouts at the Senior Bowl he has the footwork to handle it.
(No second round pick)
Third round:
80. Juron Criner, WR, Arizona. Keeping Criner in the state gives the team an option when Larry Fitzgerald is bracketed.
Fourth round:
112. Senio Kelemete, OG/OT, Washington. Arizona continues to rebuild its line with a versatile lineman who can compete for playing time right away or move to tackle when Levi Brown's time is done.
Fifth round:
151. Emmanuel Acho, OLB, Texas
Sixth round:
177. Chris Greenwood, CB, Albion
Seventh round:
185. DaJohn Harris, DT, USC
Personally I think these are some solid choices for the Cardinals, especially with their first round pick of Cordy Glenn and in-state talent Juron Criner out of Arizona. Former Texas standout and current Cardinal Sam Acho's little brother Emmanuel could also be a solid late round selection, while netting some more Pac-12 talent in DaJohn Harris and Senio Kelemete as well.
Now well have to see how many of these Reuter gets correct.
