2026 NFL draft: The last 10 players selected No. 143 overall

[ASFN Admin]

The Arizona Cardinals have seven selections in the 2026 NFL draft currently, one in each round. Their selection in the fifth round is the 143rd overall pick. Since Round 5 is on Day 3 of the draft, these can be developmental, rotational and special teams player, and teams hope that maybe they can become more than that.

Who have been the last few players selected 143rd overall? Let's have a look.

• 2025: DT Jordan Phillips, Miami Dolphins
• 2024: LB JD Bertrand, Atlanta Falcons
• 2023: RB Israel Abanikanda, New York Jets
• 2022: TE Chig Okonkwo, Tennessee Titans
• 2021: S Tyree Gillespie, Las Vegas Raiders
• 2020: OL Ben Bredeson, Baltimore Ravens
• 2019: LB Ryan Connelly, New York Giants
• 2018: LB Ja'Whaun Bentley, New England Patriots
• 2017: RB Marlon Mack, Indianapolis Colts
• 2016: RB DeAndre Washington, Oakland Raiders

Bentley was very good for New England. Bredeson has been a solid NFL starter. Mack was a decent player. Okwonko is a solid tight end.

The Cardinals can hopefully land someone who turns into just a solid NFL player.
