While we are all talking about which high picks are going where, who do you see as a later round pick, I mean 4th round or later who you believe will become a high end starter for a team, not necessarily the Cardinals. Who is your favorite dark horse.

My choice is Jake Fromm. I think he will blossom under NFL coaching and become a very good QB. It's a gut feeling I have about him.

Most obvious guesses are RBs since they routinely go late/undrafted and start.

non-RB category, I’ll go with Alex Highsmith. He has elite traits. Is super raw.

Anthony McFarland RB. He looks like the next Dalvin Cook to me.

Highsmith and J Garvin are two pass rushers with huge upside I would love in the 4th

Harrison Bryant TE FAU. The next George Kittle? :devil:

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports...0200421-ajdfdg2fcbafdnvzyckgoh7wiy-story.html

Bryant is considered one of the top tight end prospects in this year’s draft class. NFL analyst Lance Zeirlein compared his pass-catching ability, athleticism and run-blocking to San Francisco 49ers All-Pro tight end George Kittle — a player Bryant has said he’s tried model his game after. ESPN’s Jeff Legwold ranked Bryant as the No. 3 tight end prospect and No. 77 overall.

Quarterback Nate Stanley of Iowa is my choice. I do like Eno Benjamin as well.

Its not super dark horse...but I'm going Evan Weaver. He is a tackling machine that will have a 10 year NFL career.

I think he's a New England type pick...BB will go all in with Stidham, who they all rave about, but Fromm is a guy you draft as a 1-2 year project, in case Stidham doesn't workout as planned.

Hill Miami Edge, He has tons of problems with maturity & health, but I’m thinking round 6. He’ll out rush most of the guys taken before him if he stays straight.

Don't know if he's rated as far down as the 4th round, but I get the feeling that Akeem Daviis-Gaither (LB) would be a steal here.

I think Thaddeus Moss is going to have a long, good career. While most people are looking for flash from TEs, Moss is going to be a Ben Watson type.

I think we trade a late pick for 49ers wideout Goodwin.

Michael Pittman Jr.

I've been hesitant about picking a WR early, but if somehow he's there in the 3rd round, I'd pick him up. He's probably only a notch below the three big names in the draft.

***HOMER ALERT***

JJ Taylor from Arizona has a lot of Sproles in him. If he's still there in the 6th round, I snag him.

Highsmith clearly, as a DE he could really be a big player for a team, hopefully the cards.

but because he was taken already I will call a even darker horse ... Dante Olsen ILB I would love to add him, but I do not know if he goes in the 4th or as UDFA ... we will see.
