Arizona Cardinals mock draft 2023: Pick-by-pick predictions

No. 3, Round 1: Will Anderson, OLB, Alabama

Arguably the top player in the 2023 draft, Anderson has showcased game-breaking ability since his arrival at Alabama. With all eyes on the star edge rusher heading into the season, Anderson would live up to the hype built by his sophomore campaign, finishing with 10 sacks and 17 tackles for loss. With an opportunity to trade back to a quarterback-needy team, Cardinals wouldn’t miss out on much, if they decide on picking the generational talent instead.
