The Cardinals 2012 season was one to forget following their memorable beginning to what looked to be a long relationship between the Cardinals and Kevin Kolb.

NFL Draft Team Needs: Buffalo Bills
1. Quarterback: Kevin Kolb was recently brought in, but he obviously isn't a long term solution. Buddy Nix wants his franchise quarterback, so there's a good chance they will take one in the first or second round. However, they could wait for round three if they believe in someone like Tyler Bray.
