The consensus among scouts and analysts in NFL circles is that the Arizona Cardinals are expected to be the worst team in the NFL this season.
Arizona does have promising rookie running back Jeremiyah Love and electrifying wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., but outside of those two players, the team’s roster is devoid of talent.
If the Cardinals are drafting No. 1 overall next year, very few will be surprised.
While everyone expects the Cardinals to grab a quarterback with their top pick in next year’s draft, Bleacher Report sees them throwing a wrench into the top of the draft and grabbing Miami’s Darian Mensah first overall over current projected No. 1 pick Arch Manning.
“Mensah is a poised, accurate, and mentally tough passer, who has elevated his game in each of his last two programs,” B/R scout Dame Parson said. “Mensah isn't afraid of big moments and is a proven winner with lesser talent around him.
“At Miami , the 21-year-old will have a supporting cast allowing his game to flourish and potentially perform on college football's biggest stages. He's a precision passer, completing nearly 68 percent of his attempts, while having plus-level mobility to break a defense's back on key downs as a scrambler.”
Drafting Mensah first overall would be quite the surprise given how deep next year's QB class is. Mensah is expected to be a first-rounder, and he could even work his way into the top 10, but Manning, Oregon’s Dante Moore, Ohio State’s Julian Sayin, and Notre Dame’s C.J. Carr could all be in the running for that selection as well.
If the Cardinals end up with the top pick, they'll be under an immense amount of pressure to find their quarterback of the future — something they haven't had since Kyler Murray's Pro Bowl years in 2020 and 2021.
The Cardinals' current depth chart reads Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew, and Carson Beck, so regardless of who they pick, it will almost certainly be an upgrade over what they have now.
