The Arizona Cardinals have been busy in 2020 with key trades. Acquiring DeAndre Hopkins in a trade from the Houston Texans was huge but acquiring him without trading a first-round pick was even bigger. This will give the Cardinals a chance to build on their riches of an elite-level prospect.

The Cardinals have a chance to build an explosive and consistent offense with Kliff Kingsbury.

The biggest step for the Cardinals is to acquire an efficient offensive lineman to reduce the pass rush allowed on dual-threat quarterback Kyler Murray. Last season, they gave up 50 sacks, which was tied for the fifth-highest among all teams in the league.

Mekhi Becton will be a player that reduce those number of sacks. His huge size and ability to maneuver in run plays and slide into pass protection make him an elite-level prospect.
