FRISCO, Texas — As Christian Parker begins to quickly settle into his new role as Dallas Cowboys' defensive coordinator, named the successor to the short and disappointing reign of Matt Eberflus, the next order of business, following Parker putting pen to paper and officially departing the Philadelphia Eagles, is to build out his staff.

3. Arizona Cardinals

Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami

Mauigoa to the Cardinals is one of the most seamless fits in the first round. Arizona must shore up its offensive line and needs a long-term starter at right tackle opposite Paris Johnson Jr. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound Mauigoa was a three-year starter at Miami and allowed only two sacks in 16 games during the Hurricanes' run to the national title game last season. The Cardinals are desperate for that type of consistency, with 36-year-old Kelvin Beachum starting 11 games in 2025 and no long-term answer on the roster.

There are questions about quarterback Kyler Murray's future, but like with the Jets above, there are no solutions at QB in this part of the draft beyond Mendoza. So the Cardinals should sit tight and go OT.

34. Arizona Cardinals

Germie Bernard WR, Alabama

Marvin Harrison Jr.'s first two seasons haven't quite gone to plan, and the Cardinals don't have much at receiver behind him and Michael Wilson. Bernard has elite ability to make plays after the catch and is a dynamic player who is capable of lining up all over the alignment -- including in the backfield, in the slot and at X receiver.

Bernard...gross. So many better options for AZ in this mock draft. Peter Woods. R Mason Thomas. CJ Allen. Lee Hunter. Ty Simpson.

I am happy Matt Miller gets paid to do something he likes, but his stuff is kinda buns.

Ime thinking 2nd round Qb Simpson if he falls Nussmeir also (just something bout him screams Good pick) he had a injury, bad coach plus crappy supporting cast last year but look at 2024 you see 4000+ yards 20+ touchdowns Stay away from Chambliss (very Bad Murray Vibes)

I’m good on the tackle and I ‘m okay with a WR in round 2, but not that one. If the Cards get an extra second I’d like Nussmeier with the lower pick unless they sign Willis.

Monti on whether it was concerning that so many candidates chose other jobs over the Cardinals:"Some of those people took other jobs. Doesn't mean that we wanted them to be at this job."He added: "I'd say our job was attractive to many candidates."
