Arizona Cardinals team preview before 2020 NFL Draft
Top 10 Targets in 2020 NFL Draft
If the Arizona Cardinals want to go with interior defensive line with their first-round pick, they should really consider Derrick Brown if he is on the board. If Brown is taken, then the Cardinals should really think about Javon Kinlaw and develop him. Kinlaw has the greatest upside from any player in this draft, besides Mekhi Becton. If the Cardinals decide to wait until the third-round Leki Fotu is a player that I am higher on that I could see go in the back half of the second round but if available at third-round, pick him up.
I put all four of the top tackles in the top ten targets for the Arizona Cardinals. They should not look at any other player and wait for a cornerback and interior defensive line later in the draft. Arizona’s main priority is to protect their rookie of the year quarterback Kyler Murray. The Cardinals have the outside weapons now to do something special, just give Murray time to throw the ball and the Cardinals will be golden.
The Cards have an obvious cornerback issue, but they need to address tackle first. If they trade out of the number eight overall pick and miss out on one of the top four tackles, they could look at C.J. Henderson if he still is on the board. If Henderson is gone, you wait until the third-round and get Cameron Dantzler or Bryce Hall. If Hall was not always hurt he could be a first-round player and there were talks this offseason that Dantzler would go to the Chiefs in the first round, I think that ended after the Combine.
