There’s some murmurs around the Arizona Cardinals as the 2024 NFL Draft comes closer and closer.
We’ve heard for months the team could trade down from the fourth overall pick, but Arizona has another first-round pick at 27 thanks to their prior trade with the Houston Texans. Word on the block is the Cardinals may look to trade up from that pick (more on that here).
This draft class is a deep one at several positions, but there are nonetheless premium players that can make immediate impacts for their teams. Naturally, the Cardinals will be enticed to get as many of those level of players as possible.
But to do so means to be aggressive. General manager Monti Ossenfort showed us in his first draft class last year that he can wheel and deal up and down the board. W
could easily see him do it again this year with lots of draft capital and plenty of talented players to add.
If the Cardinals are interested in moving up for some more talent than what could be available at 27, I have a few names in mind… six to be exact.
For this, we are assuming the Cardinals trade up no more than 10 selections. A
such, I will DO MY BEST(!!) to respect a general order and range of where these players will go.
The Cardinals locked down one of their tackle spots with Paris Johnson Jr.
last season so it’s only fitting that they get the bookend across from him. Guyton has quickly become one of my favorite prospects at the position even in a deep class.
