CB, Florida

The Arizona Cardinals are another team that had a disappointing season in 2016. One year removed from playing in the NFC Championship Game, the Cardinals failed to make the playoffs this past season, though they should not be out of it for long. They still have a ton of talent on both sides of the ball, and while quarterback Carson Palmer may be at the end of his career, he should have at least one more good season left in him.

Next April, the Cards should look to bolster their secondary, bringing in another cornerback to compliment Patrick Peterson. On offense, the Cards boast arguably the best back in football, as David Johnson has established himself as a superstar during the early part of his career. If Arizona can improve on the defensive side of the ball, the should be a Super Bowl contender in 2017.

Tabor is an extremely talented corner, and has teamed with Quincy Wilson to form the best 1-2 cornerback duo in the SEC. He is the kind of player that can take away one side of the field, and had it not been for Marlon Humphrey, he may have been the first player at his position off the board. Tabor and Wilson should both hear their names called within the first two round of the NFL Draft, but Tabor will likely be the first of the two off the board come next April.
