The Arizona Cardinals<\/a> have a big question to ask themselves over the next few weeks before the expected NFL Supplemental draft. Should they take a chance on quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who many believe would be a first-round pick in 2027?<\/p>\n

While one analyst thinks the Cardinals are an obvious choice to bid on Sorsby<\/a>, it might not be as simple.<\/p>\n

The Athletic’s Nick Baumgardner says<\/a> the Cardinals are a team that should consider Sorsby, but it comes with caveats.<\/p>\n

It can’t be an early pick.<\/p>\n

If I’m the Cardinals, I’m not sure I’d give up more than a fourth for him, especially after just using a third-round selection on Beck (which I believe was a reach). This isn’t dissimilar to the Klubnik situation in New York, though, in that the Cardinals already have a young passer they like. Spending valuable capital on another youngster, especially one in Sorsby’s current situation, could be tough.<\/p>\n

That said, Arizona should play the game a bit here, because Sorsby is a better prospect than Beck. Arizona could be in position to snag a guy at the top of the 2027 draft, but there are no promises. Bidding a Day 3 pick on Sorsby could make sense.<\/p>\n

This is 100% the right take. He is worth a Day 3 pick unless they think he is absolutely the answer. Then it doesn’t matter what pick.<\/p>\n

Now, historically, that won’t happen. Five of the six quarterbacks selected in the history of the supplemental draft have come with a first-round pick. The lowest was Terrelle Pryor in 2011 with a third-round pick.<\/p>\n

Adding Sorsby would likely end the nonsense of Jacoby Brissett’s contract dispute, forcing a trade or a release.<\/p>\n

How does the supplemental draft work?<\/p>\n

Teams are divided into three groups \u2014 teams with six or fewer wins, other non-playoff teams and playoff teams from last season. The order within each group is random.<\/p>\n

Teams desiring the player bid a draft pick from 2027.<\/p>\n

The team bidding the highest pick is awarded the player.<\/p>\n

In the case of multiple teams bidding the same pick, the tiebreaker goes to the higher priority group and then the random order within the same group.<\/p>\n

The supplemental draft, if the NFL accepts Sorsby’s application, will take place in the middle of July.<\/p>\n
