Why
The most pressing need is on the offensive line, requiring a top-tier tackle to play opposite Paris Johnson Jr. The defensive line, despite its number of rotational players, still lacks a dominant centerpiece. It's also a priority to find a safety to complement Budda Baker and add more talent to the linebacker corps, which is missing a high-impact player.

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
Three names per every pick.
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
Jordan Seaton
LSU
OTFinally a LT that can stand up to speed rushers. Anchor is instant, but his ceiling depends on processing stunts.
John Henry Daley
Michigan
DLInstantly anchors the edge with a relentless motor. Very high floor for the position, even if the pass rush ceiling is just functional.
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
Notre Dame
LBInstant LB who reads and blows up plays, bringing an anchor to the defense's core. Very high floor there.
Second round
3 names
Trevor Lauck
Iowa
OTInstantly anchors that RT. Top power and hands in the run game, but speed on the edge is the question mark.
Eric O'Neill
James Madison
DLHe brings consistent EDGE pressure, something they lack. The tireless motor is real, but he needs weight to be a consistent anchor.
Ben Roberts
Texas Tech
LBHe brings that modern LB who chases the ball in space. Processing is elite, but watch the weight against power.
Third round
3 names
Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Arkansas
DLHe brings that pop to the DL they need, anchors the run from snap one. If he fixes his pad level, he could be a three-down.
Koi Perich
Oregon
SAdds ball-hawk instinct to the Cards' secondary. High floor as a free safety, but top-end speed will cap his ceiling.
Suntarine Perkins
Mississippi
LBBrings that LB blitzer the defense is screaming for; ceiling's huge if he figures out how to anchor against power.
