Arizona Cardinals: B+
Round 1, Pick No. 8: Isaiah Simmons, LB, Clemson
Round 3, Pick No. 72: Josh Jones, OT, Houston
Round 4, Pick No. 114: Leki Fotu, DT, Utah
Round 4, Pick No. 131 (from Texans): Rashard Lawrence II, DT, LSU
Round 6, Pick No. 202 (from Patriots): Evan Weaver, LB, California
Round 7, Pick No. 222: Eno Benjamin, RB, Arizona State
Despite needing an offensive lineman, Arizona bypassed on Tristan Wirfs and Mekhi Becton in order to scoop up the most versatile defensive prospect in the draft. It’ll be wildly interesting to see how the Cardinals opt to utilize Isaiah Simmons. One thing’s for sure: The defense suddenly has the look of a unit that is much improved. Simmons joins a cast of elite talents in Chandler Jones, Budda Baker, and Patrick Peterson. Both Josh Jones and Leki Fotu look like value picks as well. Each should contribute next season.
