Matt Miller\u2019s ESPN seven-round 2026 NFL Mock Draft<\/a> and what he has the Arizona Cardinals doing:<\/p>\n3.\u00a0Arizona Cardinals<\/p>\n
Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami<\/p>\n
34.\u00a0Arizona Cardinals<\/p>\n
Zion Young, Edge, Missouri<\/p>\n
65.\u00a0Arizona Cardinals<\/p>\n
Carson Beck, QB, Miami<\/p>\n
104.\u00a0Arizona Cardinals:\u00a0Brenen Thompson, WR, Mississippi State<\/p>\n
143.\u00a0Arizona Cardinals:\u00a0Demond Claiborne, RB, Wake Forest<\/p>\n
183.\u00a0Arizona Cardinals:\u00a0Toriano Pride Jr., CB, Missouri<\/p>\n
217.\u00a0Arizona Cardinals:\u00a0Jager Burton, G, Kentucky<\/p>\n
The first three rounds is what I really want to focus on, because it seems to be a weirdly precise look at the Cardinals potentially.<\/p>\n
Mauigoa going at three overall seems to be the consensus favorite among fans and the media, which is interesting because we don\u2019t see that line up very often.<\/p>\n
Then there is Young. Young came in at 6-6 and 262lbs at the 2026 NFL Combine, and improved each of his four years in college football. He finished his career at Mizzou with 6.5 sacks and 16.5 tackles for loss. Before that in three seasons between Michigan State and Mizzou he had a total five sacks and 12 tackles for loss in his career.<\/p>\n

We know what Beck is. He is a good college quarterback who needs to get back to having the zip on the ball he had before his UCL surgery. If he gets there, he could be a potential starter, but he has the makeup to be a longtime NFL backup.<\/p>\n
