With a new regime and a new quarterback leading the way, and the Arizona Cardinals weren’t expecting to contend for the NFC West crown this season. The Cardinals were very lucky to have Josh Rosen fall to them in last year’s draft and they seem to have their quarterback of the future.

Rosen has experienced growing pains as he has thrown for 1,521 yards with 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while leading Arizona to a 2-9 record.

If the Cardinals want to protect their franchise player they will draft a tackle capable of protecting his blind spot. Jonah Williams can be inserted into the starting lineup and quickly make an impact on the offensive line. Alabama’s offense has hummed all season long, and the offensive line is a major part of that success.

They have given up just 10 sacks this season and Williams has helped pave the way for over 205 yards rushing per game. If Arizona passes on Williams look for them to select a quality defensive lineman as that unit is seeing the wrong end of 30 in key spots.
