The Arizona Cardinals went 4-13 last season, a low enough record to grab one of the top spots in the 2024 NFL draft.

Last season, quarterback Kyler Murray returned from a torn ACL and led the team to a 3-5 record in the team’s last eight games.

The NFL draft is a great way to grab new, young talent from college and add them to a team that already has stars on both sides of the ball like Murray, running back James Conner, tight end Trey McBride, and safety Budda Baker.

The Cardinals had two picks in the first round, seven in the first three rounds, and 12 total.
