Cardinals’ Pick #15: Simple as 1-2-3

Three picks that make sense for the Arizona Cardinals.

There are three impact offensive players the Arizona Cardinals could tab in the 1st round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

If that happens, it may be by way of a team trading up.Peter King published a mock draft in his latest column for The MMQB, and he speculates that the Arizona Cardinals could look to move into the top five because they are so enamored with Mayfield.
