The NFL draft is a couple of months away and one phase of the evaluation is complete as we have had the Senior Bowl. Next up is the NFL combine in a couple of weeks, but draft experts are beginning to rank players and positions.
The Arizona Cardinals will likely address the defensive edge in the draft. They should, as they had one sack in the final six games of the season.
They have three picks in the first 35 selections, so they could get a pass rusher early.
Draft Wire’s Natalie Miller ranked the top five edge defenders in the draft, based on what we know from the college football season and the Senior Bowl.
Who are they? Check them out below and read her full article to know more about each player.
