'Larry Legend' tops Cardinals' first-round draft picks
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — BEST FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK: WR Larry Fitzgerald (2004). The Cardinals have had several good first-rounders, including cornerback Patrick Peterson (2011) and Hall of Famers defensive back Roger Wehrli (1969), running back Ollie Matson (1952) and halfback Charley Trippi (1945). Still, it's hard to argue against Fitzgerald, one of the most productive and durable receivers in NFL history who has turned into the face of the franchise after more than 15 years in the desert. Fitzgerald was expected to be a game changer as the No. 3 overall pick out of Pittsburgh and has delivered with more than 17,000 yards receiving.
