The Arizona Cardinals have signed their first- and third-round draft picks, Michael Floyd and Jamell Fleming, to close out their draft class of seven players.

Floyd, a wide receiver, signed a four-year deal with a team option for a fifth. Fleming, a cornerback, signed a four-year deal. According to NFL.com, Floyd’s deal is worth $10 million guaranteed over four years.

After setting records at Notre Dame, Floyd fills a hole in Arizona that has existed since Anquan Boldin left. Floyd holds the Notre Dame record for receptions with 271.

Fleming, who intercepted seven passes and defended a total of 24 on his career, was the team's third-round pick. The Cardinals didn't have a second rounder this year. Fleming is expected to contend for the team's nickel cornerback spot with free agent signing William Gay. Given Arizona's depth at safety, Fleming could see some time there as well.
