Why
The Arizona Cardinals' current priorities begin at wide receiver (WR) and offensive tackle (OT). Pass rusher (EDGE) and linebacker (LB) are the next groups that should be reinforced heading into the 2027 NFL Draft.

How he drafts
Track record read
Since Monti Ossenfort took the reins, the Cardinals have clearly emphasized accumulating impact defensive talent in the early rounds, particularly athletic pass rushers and physical corners, many from the SEC. They also prioritize elite Power 5 athletes in key offensive roles like WR and OT. Their strategy appears to be building from the inside out, securing the offensive line with pro-ready tackles like Paris Johnson Jr., and adding weaponry for Kyler Murray such as Marvin Harrison Jr., unafraid to select high-floor players from recognized programs.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Ohio State
WRGives Arizona that dominant boundary X receiver they desperately lack. Day-one starter with an obvious All-Pro ceiling.
LSU
OTLocks down the blindside opposite Paris Johnson. Nasty initial punch; the ceiling comes down to keeping his feet clean late in reps.
Texas
EDGEGives Arizona’s pass rush the elite bend they desperately lack. Instant third-down terror; his run anchor will determine his true ceiling.
Second round
3 names
Notre Dame
WRGives Arizona an instant chain-mover out of the slot on third down. Limited ceiling without vertical juice, but high floor.
Texas
OTCleans up Arizona's edge pass protection with pure length; high-floor pass blocker whose ceiling hinges on holding up against power.
Arkansas
EDGEPure disruption for Gannon's pass rush with rare length; if he learns to anchor against the run, he's an everyday starter.
Third round
3 names
Miami
WRBoundary possession target to move the chains with reliable hands. Zero twitch to separate deep, but a rock-solid WR3 floor.
Notre Dame
OTPlugs in immediately as Arizona's swing tackle with elite footwork, though his actual ceiling is kicking inside to guard.
NC State
EDGESets the edge Arizona has been bleeding against the run. Don't expect sacks, but that motor buys immediate rotational snaps.
