In a recent mock draft, Todd McShay, now with The Ringer, forecasts that the Arizona Cardinals will trade back from the third overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. The Cardinals are reportedly looking to draft an offensive tackle but do not believe any tackle is worthy of the third pick. They might trade with the New Orleans Saints, who are eager to select Ohio State EDGE Arvell Reese. In this scenario, the Cardinals would receive the Saints' eighth pick, their second-round pick (No. 42), and a second-round pick in 2027. This trade would allow the Cardinals to select Spencer Fano, an offensive tackle from Utah, who is seen as a strong fit for their offensive line needs. Fano has demonstrated impressive athleticism, tying for the fastest 40-yard dash among offensive tackles in the past three years, and has experience playing both left and right tackle. This move would not only help address Arizona's offensive line issues, which saw them allow the fifth-most sacks last season, but also provide them with additional draft capital to pursue a franchise quarterback in the coming years.
