The Arizona Cardinals are gearing up for the upcoming NFL Draft with a focus on bolstering both their offensive and defensive lines. In the latest mock draft from Pro Football Network, the Cardinals are projected to select three offensive linemen, two defensive linemen, and a running back. Among the highlights is Alabama guard Tyler Booker as their first-round pick, who is seen as an immediate starter to address a pressing need on the line.

However, the selection of Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson in the second round raises eyebrows given the presence of James Conner and Trey Benson on the roster. The mock draft also includes South Carolina's T.J. Sanders in the third round to bring youthful competition to the defensive line. The picks indicate a strategic focus on building a strong foundation in the trenches, aiming for both immediate impact and long-term development, although some notable positions like edge rusher and linebacker appear neglected in this projection.
