Arizona Cardinals draft blueprint; how they can win every round of the 2019 NFL Draft
By Avery Duncan
Round four: Take either an offensive tackle or wide receiver, whichever hasn’t been selected yet.
Remember how I said for No. 33 overall that the Arizona Cardinals should draft a receiver or offensive lineman, whichever is highest on the board? Well, that same logic applies to No. 103 overall, but if the round two selection is a wide receiver, take an offensive lineman, and vice-versa.
At this point of the draft, the Redbirds should be able to take a potential starter at either position. Although the interior line class in the fourth may be weak, the offensive tackle group may not be. Some talented tackles that I could see falling here include;
- Max Scharping, Northern Illinois
- Yodny Cajuste, West Virginia
- Bobby Evans, Oklahoma
- Chuma Edoga, USC
- Dennis Daley, South Carolina
Each of the five prospects mentioned above project as starting talent down the line. For the Cardinals who have a solid, yet oft-injured starting tackle duo in D.J. Humphries and Marcus Gilbert, taking a tackle that could develop behind the two and offer potential as a spot-starter is a good idea.
And for the wide receivers that I could see falling here;
- Emanuel Hall, Missouri (pictured)
- DaMarkus Lodge, Ole Miss
- Andy Isabella, UMass
- Terry McLaurin, Ohio State
- Jakobi Meyers, N.C. State
All five I view as potential day-one starters, which may increase their draft stocks. However, each may be available there. If the Cards want a slot receiver, Isabella and Meyers would be good options.
