Deep dives
Arizona Cardinals Draft Strategy
The Arizona Cardinals focused heavily on strengthening their defense during the draft, opting not to select any skill position players. Their first-round pick, Walter Nolan, is noted for his relentless motor and disruptive abilities as an interior defender. Additionally, the team secured Will Johnson, a cornerback who fell due to injury concerns but was previously regarded as a top talent, potentially making for a valuable pick if he returns to form. The Cardinals also brought in two starters from the Ohio State Buckeyes, showcasing a clear intention to build a formidable defense.
