The Arizona Cardinals are shaping their future by targeting young talent in the upcoming NFL draft. A recent mock draft suggests that they could select 20-year-old Mykel Williams, a promising EDGE rusher from Georgia, with the 16th overall pick. Despite an active offseason aimed at enhancing their defensive front, the Cardinals appear focused on further bolstering their defense, indicating a clear strategy for improving their pass-rushing capabilities.

Williams, who possesses impressive physical traits and is already effective against the run, is viewed as a high-upside prospect. His youthful age and ability to take coaching well could make him a key contributor early in his career. While the Cardinals have revamped their roster, adding another edge rusher like Williams could mirror the impactful presence of players such as Jadeveon Clowney, providing significant defensive strength.
