After going 4-13 in both 2022 and 2023, the Cardinals improved to 8-9 last season but missed the playoffs for a third straight year. A positive for Arizona is that QB Kyler Murray started all 17 games last season after playing in just 19 games total over the previous two years due to a torn ACL.
Arizona has just six picks in this year’s draft, with their first selection at No. 16 overall. The Cardinals had two first-round picks last year, selecting WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (4th overall) and DL Darius Robinson (27th overall). While Harrison Jr. finished T-2nd among all rookies with a team-high 8 receiving touchdowns, Robinson played in just six games after missing the beginning of the season with a calf injury.
