Cardinals' Drafting Struggles: 2 Pro Bowlers, 0 Playoff Wins

0:00On April 21st, Arizona Cardinals fans stay roasting General Manager Monti Ossinford, and a fresh stat on Pro Bowl picks backs up why. The team ranks near the bottom of the lead, with just two Pro Bowlers on the current roster who were drafted by the Cardinals. Neither safety boot a Baker nor tight end Tramig Bride came under Ossinford's watch. This comes as he heads into his fourth draft cycle, with the Cardinals failing to hit the playoffs or even snag a winning record during his time. Critics hammer him for not landing those game-changing draft gyms that stick around. Fans and analysts point to this as proof of shaky drafting, though some argue the Pro Bowl nod has lost some shine lately. Still, it fuels contract talks in hot debates, and the Cardinals have whiffed on big first rounders like wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., and defensive lineman Darius Robinson. Ossinford pushes back by saying the team reviews every draft class closely, breaking down hits, misses, and schemeships on offense.
