The Arizona Cardinals are considering trading down from their third overall pick in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, a strategy they employed in 2023. According to SI.com's Albert Breer, the Cardinals are among several teams, including the Tennessee Titans and New York Giants, looking to move back in the draft order. They are reportedly interested in drafting an offensive tackle but do not believe any available tackles justify the third pick. If they trade down, potential targets include Francis Mauigoa from Miami, Spencer Fano and Caleb Lomu from Utah, and Monroe Freeling from Georgia. In 2023, the Cardinals traded down from the third pick to the twelfth and then back up to sixth, selecting tackle Paris Johnson. As the draft approaches, all eyes will be on the Cardinals to see if they will repeat this strategy.
