Kate and McDonald, and others like LB Sonny Styles and WR Carnell Taden. Fans are buzzing, especially cardinal supporters eyeing these guys. A few have strong ties to Arizona, like Bain. Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love, Ohio State's Arvel Reese, and Miami Tackle Frances Malgoa. Their presence amps up the entry for those mid-round steals.
