The Arizona Cardinals are set to have a top-five pick in the 2024 draft, which puts them in a great position to add depth and talent to their roster. They have already endorsed Kyler Murray as their future signal-caller, which means they won’t be looking for a rookie quarterback.
Instead, the Cardinals will focus on building a supporting cast around Murray to help him reach his full potential. They have several key areas of need, including wide receiver, defensive line, edge rusher, linebacker, and cornerback. With multiple picks in each round of the draft, including two first-round picks from the Texans at 4 and 27, they have plenty of flexibility to address these needs.
One option for the Cardinals is to trade down and accumulate more picks to address all of their needs. Alternatively, they could use their top-five pick to add a top non-quarterback prospect who can make an immediate impact on the field.
Either way, the Cardinals have plenty of options with their draft capital.
