EDGE. Arizona Cardinals. Nick Bosa. 1. player. 32.

As Ed Oliver’s Injuries and inconsistent play have hurt his draft stock it seems that Nick Bosa’s injury has solidified his status as the number one pick. The brother of former Ohio State star Joey Bosa, he can get to the quarterback with ease and turn a game around for the defense in just a few short plays.

Standing at 6-foot-4 and 262 pounds, he has the ability to bull rush the offensive lineman in front of him or use an effective swim move to pick up a sack. He caused an outcry from college football fans across America by leaving Ohio State early to focus on the draft, but it’s clear that was the smartest decision he could have made.

There Is a health concern with his abdominal area and teams may be wary of drafting him but Arizona needs to shore up the defense. Jonah Williams could be a better fit at this spot if the Cardinals don’t trade Josh Rosen. The Cardinals could use this position to trade down and still select Williams but if they stay put Bosa will be the guy.
