7 – Dalvin Tomlinson, DT (Vikings)

Tomlinson is a sure tackler who would immediately help a porous Arizona Cardinals rushing defense. With an 83.0 run defense grade or higher per PFF since 2017, Tomlinson is one player on this list who could be high on the Redbirds list of free agent targets.

8 – Dalton Schultz, TE (Cowboys)

If the Cardinals decide or plan to part ways with Zach Ertz, it opens the possibility that they will sign a tight end to pair with Trey McBride. Dalton Schultz could be a target. Though I expect him to return to Dallas, Schultz’s above average production will warrant interest from multiple teams if he tests the market.

9 – Ben Powers, G (Ravens)

If the Cardinals want to upgrade protection for Kyler Murray (or a high end backup if Murray isn’t ready), then Ben Powers is another name on this list I can legitimately see the Cardinals targeting. He isn’t the best run blocker, but Powers’ 86.5 pass blocking grade will warrant interest from the Redbirds if he doesn’t re-sign in Baltimore.
