Bruce Arians is becoming one of the best coaches in the league. He coached the Cardinals to a fantastic 11-5 record with a ton of injuries to key players, including his starting quarterback Carson Palmer.

Now that Palmer is back on track and ready to go, the Cardinals can be one of the most dangerous teams. They have a star-studded roster on both sides of the ball. Their defense is what kept them in playoff contention all season long.

It’s important for them to add a running back and a cornerback in the draft this year, to pair up with Andre Ellington. Believe it or not, they should draft a quarterback in the later rounds as well. Palmer only has so many years left.

At full health, who knows how far the Cardinals could go in the playoffs.
