Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim has insisted that the club are in much better shape for this year's scouting combine than they were in 2013.
The combine last season came just a month after Keim had been appointed the GM and Bruce Arians had become the new coach, and he said that this year the two have a much better understanding.
"The biggest thing is having a year together and us seeing how the scouts evaluate, scouts seeing how the coaches evaluate, going through free agency and the combine, it's night and day realising the type of players we are looking for," Arians told the Cardinals' official website.
"Where we are now from a roster standpoint I feel we are significantly better shape than we were last year at this time. There are still needs at different positions in terms of starters as well as depth, but I feel we have fewer holes."
The Cardinals finished third in the NFC West in 2013 with a 10-6 record.
