With the NFL Draft fast approaching, the Arizona Cardinals are facing mounting pressure to deliver.

NFC West rivals San Francisco and Los Angeles look to be well on their way towards joining the upper echelon of the NFC.  Also with the always competitive Seattle Seahawks still competing at a high level, Arizona’s front office and newly appointed coaching staff knows how crucial this month’s draft will be.

While the Cardinals have needs across the board, finding a bonafide star to pair with NFL sack leader Chandler Jones tops the list. Luckily, this year’s draft is littered with potential difference makers that could fit well into Steve Wilks’ defense.

Of course, adding more defensive linemen never hurt anyone. Jones likely will be on the line this year with the changes to a 4-3 defense under Wilks. 

That is the focus here as we sit just 16 days away from the 2018 NFL Draft. Here are three sack artist’s the Cardinals may target come draft day.
