Welcome back to the 2023 NFL Draft mock central, Arizona Cardinals fans, and congratulations on landing the third overall pick! This places the Cardinals in a prime position to add a premier, blue-chip prospect somewhere for the team and hopefully drastically improve from what was a miserable 2022 season. While the entire draft order isn't perfectly set yet, the first 18 picks are official. Picks 19-31 (the Miami Dolphins have forfeited their own first-round pick for league violations) are based off of current playoff seating. I opted not to do any trades this time around, although I fully expect draft night to be as wild a ride as it always is.
