First-year general manager Monti Ossenfort cobbled together a solid draft in his opening effort for the Arizona Cardinals, adding depth in several spots, especially along the offensive line and at cornerback.
Maybe most important, he also set the franchise up for a good 2024 draft.
Ossenfort and the Cardinals started the draft with the No. 3 overall pick, but the new GM showed his trading chops almost immediately, dealing that selection and the No. 105 overall pick to the Houston Texans for the No. 12 and No. 33 picks in this year’s draft, along with first- and third-round picks in 2024.
The Cardinals used the No. 41 selection to add edge BJ Ojulari, a former LSU star who should help the team’s pass rush now that J.J. Watt has retired, and Zach Allen left for the Broncos in free agency.
