Before we get to our first Arizona Cardinals mock draft, it’s important to keep one thing in mind: This team is not positioned to contend. Quarterback Kyler Murray is recovering from ACL surgery and probably won’t be ready for Week 1. The offensive and defensive lines are in reconstruction mode. Cornerback, as usual, remains a question mark. And the team’s top receiver may be traded. That gives first-year GM Monti Ossenfort a lot of needs, which makes April’s draft incredibly important. Two things before we begin:
