The 2019 NFL Draft is completed, now we look ahead to the Arizona Cardinals and projected 53-man roster
The Arizona Cardinals got their quarterback with the number one pick and then promptly traded Josh Rosen in the second round to the Miami Dolphins. Then they went out and got Murray some weapons to play with.
The Cardinals drafted three receivers in the 2019 NFL Draft. All three have a good chance of being on the 53-man roster once September rolls around. There are now 13 receivers on the roster going into OTA’s and training camp.
The draft this weekend spelled the end of Rosen. How many others will say goodbye to the Cardinals once all is said and done after camp and the preseason has ended?
Offense:
QB: Kyler Murray, Brett Hundley
RB: David Johnson, Chase Edmonds, T.J. Logan, D.J. Foster
WR: Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk, Kevin White, Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler, Keesean Johnson, Pharoh Cooper
OL: Mason Cole, Marcus Gilbert, Justin Pugh, D.J. Humphries, J.R. Sweezy, Rees Odhiambo, Jeremy Vujnovich, Korey Cunningham, Lamont Gaillard, Max Garcia
TE: Charles Clay, Ricky Seals-Jones, Darnell Daniels
Defense:
DL: Chandler Jones, Robert Nkemdiche, Rodney Gunter, Zach Allen, Corey Peters, Darius Philon, Pasoni Tasini, Cameron Malveaux
LB: Terrell Suggs, Jordan Hicks, Haason Reddick, Zeke Turner, Dennis Gardeck, Brooks Reed, Vontarrius Dora
CB: Patrick Peterson, Byron Murphy, Robert Alford, Josh Shaw, Tramaine Brock
S: Budda Baker, Rudy Ford, D.J. Swearinger, Deionte Thompson
Special teams:
P: Andy Lee
LS: Aaron Brewer
This leaves the Cardinals seventh round picks of the 53-man roster. At least it does for now. Could a guy like tight end Caleb Jordan break the roster?
The other big question is are the Cardinals ready to move on from cornerback Brandon Williams? At this point they’d be holding him for special teams. If he’s that important there, then that could cost someone else at another position a spot.
