A post-free agency look at the positions the Cardinals will address in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Previously, I took a position-by-position look at the likelihood the Cardinals would draft a player at each position group. With the dust settling from the initial wave of free agency, the Arizona Cardinals’ roster has gone through some significant changes.

In the light of these changes, it makes sense to revisit this topic. For some positions, nothing has changed, and the Cardinals appear no more or less likely to draft a player at that position. Some positions, however, have experienced personnel changes that are likely to impact the Cardinals’ draft board.

As such, what follows is my post-free agency, revised assessment of the likelihood that the Cardinals will select at least one player from each position group. Let’s start with offense.
