8. Cardinals: Walker Little, OT, Stanford

The decision is simple here. The Cardinals will protect their investment, and at this spot, Walker Little is the best option to protect Kyler Murray.

Little has a unique combination of size and agility. He stands at 6-foot-7 and 313 pounds, but he also has a background in basketball and track, in addition to football. To protect a uniquely athletic quarterback, he is a uniquely athletic lineman.

He’s a little raw, as 2018 was his first full year as a starter. His upside, however, is exciting. This is one of those draft decisions that stresses potential over production, but that potential is just so high.

It’d be surprising if the Cardinals didn’t go offensive line in this spot.
