Still to do:Keep bolstering O-lineQB of the future?Add more pass-rush potency<\/p>\n
The Cardinals’ offensive line, which struggled last season, still has a question mark at the right tackle spot opposite Paris Johnson Jr.<\/a> Arizona signed Elijah Wilkinson<\/a> to a two-year contract, but the deal doesn’t scream starter-level money for a player who allowed 46 QB pressures (per PFF) last season in Atlanta. Fortifying the right side should be a priority heading into the draft. After parting ways with Kyler Murray<\/a> and signing Gardner Minshew<\/a> to back up Jacoby Brissett<\/a>, Arizona should — at the very least — draft a developmental project at the game’s most important position. Could the Cardinals take one earlier, perhaps leaping back into the end of the first round? Possibly. Like most teams, Arizona should look to bolster the defensive line, where Josh Sweat<\/a> was the lone player to generate more than seven sacks a season ago. With Calais Campbell<\/a> still a free agent, another pass rusher would help a Nick Rallis defense that was decimated by injures in 2025.<\/p>\n Cardinals’ 2026 draft picks: 7Round 1: No. 3Round 2: No. 34Round 3: No. 65Round 4: No. 104Round 5: No. 143Round 6: No. 183Round 7: No. 217Offseason additions<\/a> | Departures<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Still to do:Keep bolstering O-lineQB of the future?Add more pass-rush potency The Cardinals’ offensive line, which struggled last…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":589048,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[68019,4687,1829,1327,8849,1807,3687,8850,1822,1799,1816,7820,1810,8305,1804,4058,3686,1811,1236,1812,6337,1820,1322,8851,1815,1814,977,5702,349,6257,1239,1321,560,8852,99,1824,8853,3851],"class_list":{"0":"post-589047","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-2026-nfl-draft","9":"tag-analysis","10":"tag-arizona-cardinals","11":"tag-atlanta-falcons","12":"tag-baltimore-ravens","13":"tag-buffalo-bills","14":"tag-carolina-panthers","15":"tag-chicago-bears","16":"tag-cincinnati-bengals","17":"tag-cleveland-browns","18":"tag-dallas-cowboys","19":"tag-denver-broncos","20":"tag-detroit-lions","21":"tag-draft","22":"tag-green-bay-packers","23":"tag-houston-texans","24":"tag-indianapolis-colts","25":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","26":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","27":"tag-las-vegas-raiders","28":"tag-los-angeles-chargers","29":"tag-los-angeles-rams","30":"tag-miami-dolphins","31":"tag-minnesota-vikings","32":"tag-new-england-patriots","33":"tag-new-orleans-saints","34":"tag-new-york-giants","35":"tag-new-york-jets","36":"tag-nfl","37":"tag-no-minute","38":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","39":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","40":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","41":"tag-seattle-seahawks","42":"tag-sports","43":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","44":"tag-tennessee-titans","45":"tag-washington-commanders"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=589047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/589048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
