What the Arizona Cardinals do with the 16th pick in the 2021 NFL is still to be decided.
Cynthia Frelund of NFL.com talked about the best fits for some of the wide receivers in the 2021 NFL draft class and the Arizona Cardinals were a perfect fit for one of them.
Kadarius Toney
Florida · Age 22
Arizona Cardinals
Projected 2021 win share: 0.59Should Larry Fitzgerald decide to start the clock on his five-year wait until Canton, Toney could be a raw but promising addition to Kliff Kingsbury’s Air Raid. Toney played from the slot a lot (86.4 percent of his snaps last season), so this fit would be very interesting. Especially in conjunction with DeAndre Hopkins and A.J. Green. Those two outside studs would allow Toney the space to realize the benefits of his speed. When untouched last season, Toney was the third-fastest player in the SEC with the ball in his hands. Florida also used Toney creatively in the run game, which would be a really nice plus in this offense, given the QB and the architect. Toney forced 20 missed tackles on receptions in 2020 (fifth-most in FBS, per PFF), and his 30.3 percent missed-tackle rate was the highest figure in the SEC. He gained 477 yards after the catch in 2020 (fourth-most in the SEC).
Toney would be an interesting fit because he’s a bit undersized, but he is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the 2021 class.
He has make you miss skills and showcased an uncanny ability to get open with ease at the Senior Bowl.
