NFL grades for each Arizona Cardinals first-round pick since 2000

[ASFN Admin]

The Arizona Cardinals have the third pick in the 2026 NFL draft. This is a team with a new coach and one that needs a new direction. It won't be easy because the Cardinals are in the toughest division in football, the NFC West. Mike LaFleur comes over from the Rams to try and fix the offense.

Will Jacoby Brissett be the QB or will they find a gem in the draft. It's highly unlikely it will come with the third overall pick because there isn't a signal-caller behind Fernando Mendoza rated that highly.
