Arizona Cardinals mock draft 2023: Pick-by-pick predictions
TEMPE, Ariz. (BVM) – With the quarterback position already set for the future, the Arizona Cardinals find themselves in an intriguing spot for the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Slotted with the No. 3 overall pick, new general manager Monti Ossenfort will have some options to play with as the draft comes into focus.
With a new brain trust at the helm, the Cardinals will be tasked with getting their group back on track for the upcoming year following what was a disappointing 4-13 campaign. Head coach Jonathan Gannon will look to institute a similar defensive scheme to the one the Philadelphia Eagles deployed during their run to Super Bowl LVII.

For the sake of the team’s current positioning, here’s a look at what Arizona could do with its eight picks.
