When the Arizona Cardinals concluded last season, the receiver group looked pretty good as it was going forward. Michael Wilson had emerged as WR1, and there were injury issues with Marv Harrison.

When the Arizona Cardinals took Miami QB Carson Beck with the first spot in the third round, was this something that was supposed to happen?
