Even with Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu in the secondary, the Arizona Cardinals could use some more defensive backs. Opposing offenses are likely planning to target third-round pick Brandon Williams early and often this season until the rookie corner can prove himself.

If Williams doesn’t pan out, the Cardinals could take someone like Michigan’s Jourdan Lewis late in the first round. There are concerns as to how he’ll deal with physical receivers in the NFL given his 5’10”, 176-pound frame. However, Lewis possesses some great ball skills and the speed to stay with even the quickest receivers in the nation

Considering Peterson is the obvious No. 1 cornerback, Lewis could be a great addition as a nickel corner where he could thrive.
