Arizona Cardinals · 2026 Draft · Pick #3 · (3-14)

Top 5 Positional Needs:

Projection: Francis Mauigoa (OT, Miami (FL))

Why: Plug-and-play bookend tackle for Kyler Murray — franchise can flip existing RT inside and set up the OL for five years.

Alternates: Arvell Reese (EDGE, OSU), Fernando Mendoza (QB, IND) if Raiders pass

Projection: CJ Allen (LB, Georgia)

Why: Jonathan Gannon's defense has an LB2 hole; Allen is a three-down fix.

Alternates: Kayden McDonald (IDL, OSU), Chris Bell (WR, LOU)
