The Cardinals have checked off two of the top seven quarterbacks in the class, but will they pull the trigger this year?

In what is now a yearly tradition for the Arizona Cardinals, they have been in meetings or at pro days for two of the top quarterbacks in the 2018 NFL Draft.

They braved the torrential downpour in Los Angeles to watch Sam Darnold wow scouts and decision makers with his work.

Now, they have met for a night out with Josh Rosen.

I did not see any reports about them in attendance at the Wyoming Pro Day, but they likely will have some type of meeting with Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield, Lamar Jackson and Mason Rudolph as well.

Then the next tier of names, we know they were at Logan Woodside’s workout in the form of Byron Leftwich, they’ll spend time with Kyle Lauletta and Mike White.

They have time to get to know all of these players, but then it ultimately comes down to the question... Will they do anything with the infomration?

Gun shy is one way to describe the Arizona Cardinals when it comes to drafting the quarterback position under Steve Keim.

Many, myself included wondered aloud if it was Bruce Arians. Arians detests rookies, he wants players he can trust and the hardest player to trust is a rookie quarterback. Moreover, he saw a window to win.

After 2013, the Cardinals had a two year window to win with the team they had. 2014 was likely the year, but things didn’t work out. 2015, they went as far as their old, tattered bodies could take them, but it wasn’t enough.

It was the pushing to keep the window open in 2016 and 2017 that has led to the 2018 offseason.

Now the question is, with them meeting with all the top quarterbacks again, will they pull the trigger on one of them?
