Fansided

The Arizona Cardinals saw their franchise quarterback Kyler Murray start just eight games in 2023. He went 3-5, while the other two quarterbacks who started for the Cardinals (Josh Dobbs and Clayton Tune) combined to go 1-8. In their first season under head coach Jonathan Gannon, they had the league's 24th-ranked offense and 31st-ranked defense. The team has a number of holes to fill and has $42 million in cap space to fill some of them. They could increase that number to $66 million if they release running back James Connor, and linebacker Kyzir White, and decline the team option for safety Budda Baker. Marquise Brown, the team's number one receiver, will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and it's possible the team will tap into this increased cap number to retain him. The team also has 12 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft (eight picks in the first four rounds). Kyler Murray is not going anywhere, so the team will use the cap space and picks to build around him. This is a no-trade mock draft, so the Cardinals will select where scheduled on Pro Football Focus (No. 4, 27, 35, 66, 71, 90, 104, 133, 140, 188, 225, and 227).
