PODCAST: The best defensive scheme fits from the 2024 draft

The NFL draft was almost a month ago and most of the analysis has been done. But some players appear to fit in their team’s particular schemes better than other.

In a new edition of “The Xs and Os with Greg Cosell” with Doug Farrar, they discuss defensive players.

The Arizona Cardinals are a part of it, as they see the defensive backs trio of Max Melton, Elijah Jones and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson as potentially remaking the team’s secondary.
