Recently the Cardinals went to work out Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes, a session that included team president Michael Bidwill. There was much speculation about what it might mean to have the man at the top of the food chain there when it comes to the Cards' interest. Bidwill (who is a pilot who sometimes flies football people to these workouts, it should be noted) said it doesn't necessarily mean much.

"It's funny, because each year I go to the Scouting combine and I let the personnel people do their thing," Bidwill said Thursday on Arizona Sports 98.7. "Steve (Keim) and his team, with the input of Bruce (Arians) and his coaching staff. They do a great job. But I attend all of those scouting activities. I (also) attend private workouts. I attend them every year. Some of them, people report on, some of them people never report on them. We really don't announce which ones I go to and which ones I don't. I go to them as my schedule allows because I love it, I love being around and learning from our scouts and coaches.

"Patrick Mahomes is one we weren't able to schedule at the combine, and that was an important one because again, all of the top prospects I meet. Whether it is at the combine, at our training facility or, on occasion, a private workout. I'm going to be attending many more private workouts, I'm not sure all of them will be leaked out to the media, but don't read anything into that."

Bidwill added that the Cardinals haven't even organized their draft board yet (I can attest to the meetings not yet having started, since the parade of coaches and scouts has yet to start in the draft room a few feet from my desk). This doesn't mean Mahomes wouldn't be someone that could intrigue the Cardinals. But as I have told some who have asked about it already, Bidwill's presence alone doesn't mean the Cards are honing in on a target.
