    Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim entered the draft this week intent on leaving it with more than just six players. He didn't necessarily plan to start the process on the first day.

    But that's what Keim and the Cardinals did Thursday in the first round, trading down from No. 20 to No. 27 and selecting strong safety Deone (pronounced DAY-own) Bucannon from Washington State. [More]

    No flash or fanfare surrounding this pick, but I love it. With Mathieu's return uncertain Bucannon will probably start day 1 and make the Cards' defensive backfield a very potent one in a loaded NFC West.
