POLL: Grade Mel Kiper’s mock draft picks for Cardinals

ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. has a new two-round mock draft and it has action for the Arizona Cardinals. They trade down to the 11th pick and pick up an extra second-round pick.

They trade with the Tennessee Titans in these projections, moving from No. 3 to No. 11 for the 41st pick in this draft, the Titans’ first-round pick next year and either their pick in the first or second round in 2025.

So in two rounds, they have the 11th, 34th and 41st picks.

He projects these players with those selections:

  • No. 3 – Texas Tech EDGE Tyree Wilson
  • No. 34 – TCU WR Quinten Johnston
  • No. 41 – Michigan DL Mazi Smith

They are talented players at positions of need. Perhaps Wilson is the riskiest of the selections, but he fits physical profiles and has the analytical production in college.

What grade would you give this mock draft between the trade and the picks?

Vote in the poll and give your thoughts in the comments.
