2. Christian Kirk

As previously mentioned, the Cardinals already pulled off a major surprise this offseason by convincing the Houston Texans to give up Hopkins in a trade, which should benefit certain players like Christian Kirk in a big way.

While Larry Fitzgerald has been the top target in the passing game throughout his career, Arizona selected Kirk in the second round of the draft two years ago with the hope that he would eventually develop into the role.

With Hopkins on board, this may no longer be the case for Kirk, but as last season showed (68 catches for 709 yards with three touchdowns) for the Cardinals, the Texas A&M product still has enormous potential for the future.

Of course, with Kirk showing early signs of getting better with experience after two NFL seasons, Arizona could always take advantage of his trade value being higher to help teams looking for help at the wide receiver position.

Los Angeles is currently in great position at the moment from a wide receiver perspective due to Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, but if Kirk were to come on as the No. 3 option, this would put the offense in even greater position to bounce back strong.
