The quarterbacks are coming through Indy, as the top ones stood at their respective podiums for media interviews, they were asked -- as always -- about some of the teams they had met or would meet with. UNC's Mitchell Trubisky and Clemson's DeShaun Watson were specifically asked about meeting with the Cardinals, and both acknowledged it had or would happen. My guess is that had Pat Mahomes or DeShone Kizer or Davis Webb been asked (and Webb was asked about teams before declining to be specific) they too would have a Cards' visit somewhere in there.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians had said he likes "five or six arms" at quarterback. But that's on first pass. And it certainly doesn't mean the Cardinals are ready to jump on five or six quarterbacks in the draft.

"You look at every aspect of the quarterback," Arians said. "Mental aspect. The heart and head, they're the hardest things to evaluate. I can see his arm strength, I can see his feet, I can see him jump, but the two things he plays with, his brain and his heart, they're very hard to evaluate."

Like every position, quarterback evaluation is a projection. By the time the Cardinals are done, they may find that only one or two of those five or six make sense as an early pick, either in the first or second round. And that one or two may be long gone by pick No. 13. That's what this due diligence is all about. The Cardinals -- who we all know want to find a young quarterback sooner or later -- are of course going to talk to all these guys. Whether they draft one (or have a chance to draft one) is TBD.
