The Arizona Cardinals had the third overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft and could have had pass rusher Will Anderson. Instead, they traded the pick to the Houston Texans, moving down to the 12th pick and then trading up to No. 6 overall to select tackle Paris Johnson.
With the trade, they landed Johnson and picks in 2024.
In a redraft of last year’s first round by Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy, the Cardinals do not make the trades. Instead, they go with Anderson.
The Cardinals originally got offensive tackle Paris Johnson but instead opted for edge defender Will Anderson Jr. who took the league by storm.
