The Draft Network

● By Jack McKessy
There’s no beating around the bush on this one: the Arizona Cardinals had a rough season. On top of their abysmal 4-13 record that was bad enough to get head coach Kliff Kingsbury fired, quarterback Kyler Murray tore his ACL in a non-contact injury late in the season. General manager Steve Keim also stepped down after the season, citing health issues. If that weren’t enough, the current roster has 32 players set to become free agents this offseason (one of whom, J.J. Watt, is retiring). The good news for Arizona is that this provides a perfect opportunity to hit something of a reset at two of the most important positions in the building: general manager and head coach. The Cardinals have already hired their new GM, former Titans executive Monti Ossenfort, and it will be his job to build this roster back up to get the team back to playoff contender status. One of his biggest early challenges is navigating the 2023 NFL Draft, which might look something like this when it’s all said and done.
