What a busy two days of drafting and calling players. But the Arizona Cardinals have done a good job selecting several players of need from this year’s NFL draft.
Offense seems to be the word of the day, and if you are going to hire an offense-minded coach, well then, it is up to GM Monti Ossenfort to supply him with what he needs to succeed on that side of the ball.

Here are the players the Cardinals have selected so far:
Round 1, pick #3: RB Jeremyiah Love,
Notre Dame
Round 2, pick #34: OG Chase Bisontis, Texas A&M
Round 3, pick #65: QB Carson Beck, Miami
The Cardinals own the fourth pick in Round 4 behind the Bills, Raiders, and Jets. Who is the best available coming up in Round 4?
—————————————————————————
Round 4: Pick #104
CB Jermod McCoy (6’-1”, 188 pounds) – Tennessee
Draft ranking: #23
McCoy is coming off a very bad knee injury that made him miss all of 2025. Teams have been scared off by this issue lingering. The Cardinals’ cornerback room is in really good shape and will probably pass on McCoy. Every club has passed on him three times, so his physical prognosis must be pretty severe. Appears he might undrafted, or like last year like with Shedeur Sanders, a team may use a late round pick on him.
CB Keionte Scott (5’-11”, 193 pounds) – Miami
Draft ranking: #58
Scott is predicted as a nickel corner with good instincts in both zone and man. Has elite 4.33 speed, so there’s that. He is very physical and a willing tackler. He has versatility as well as he can play corner in the slot or the outside, nickel, and some safety reps. Tough competitor. The Cardinals’ cornerback room should be in good shape, so Ossenfort might just pass on bringing in another.
Cardinals receiver room is good, but can Ossenfort pass over Boston’s talent, size, and 4.6 speed? Long arms and good YAC numbers because of his length. Hands are legit. Adjusts very well at back shoulder throws and is a good ball tracker.
C Sam Hecht (6’-4”, 303 pounds) – Kansas State
Draft ranking: #80
Here is an opportunity to get a versatile interior lineman cheaply. Played center in college, but has played some guard. He will become the backup center right away and can provide quality backup at three positions. Can sustain blocks, is effective at pulling, and is an exceptional pass blocker.
S Jalen Kilgore (6’-2”, 210 pounds) – South Carolina
Draft ranking: #84
Arizona needs a good tackling safety, and that is Kilgore. Very good run stopper and a willing tackler. Good length and athletic. Better in man coverage than zone where he can get lost. Has had issues with missed tackles.
OT Dametrious Crownover (6’-7”, 319 pounds) – Texas A&M
Draft ranking: #113
This provides youth at the backup tackle spot, or even could become a swing tackle as he learns the game at the next level. Huge man. Rare combination of size, height, and length. Is a finisher with good feet and does not quit on reps. Perfect backup and developmental prospect.
