Happy Friday one and all.<\/p>\n

The Arizona Cardinals have a lot of question marks heading into the offseason and the 2026 NFL Draft will be a chance to change some perceptions.<\/p>\n

My buddy Charles McDonald and his running mate Nate Tice had a new 2026 NFL Mock Draft on Yahoo! Sports <\/a>and have the Cardinals adding offensive line talent.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Arizona Cardinals\u00a0\u2014 Francis Mauigoa, OT\/OG, Miami<\/p>\n

The Cardinals have question marks at quarterback under\u00a0new head coach Mike LaFleur,\u00a0and could feasibly draft just about any position here and it would make sense given the state of their roster. Other players in this class might rise as pure offensive tackles, but Mauigoa has earned the right for a chance at right tackle at the next level. Mauigoa is a mauling run blocker with clean technique who seldom gets caught out of position. Whether he ends up at right tackle or kicks inside to guard, he is a great fit for a Cardinals team that desperately needs more talent up front to complement left tackle Paris Johnson Jr., who has shown flashes of future stardom but got caught up in this franchise\u2019s messiness.<\/p>\n

Boring, but makes sense. When you look at the Cardinals offseason needs, fixing their offensive line is a big portion of it.<\/p>\n
