2024 NFL Day 2 Mock Draft: Arizona Cardinals get more help on defense, and on offensive line
The Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the NFL will start day two of the 2024 NFL Draft in about 3.5 hours.
The Athletic’s Dane Brugler dropped a full day two 2024 NFL Mock Draft.
Enjoy.
35. Arizona Cardinals: Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa
Between DeJean’s versatility and the Cardinals’ needs in the secondary, this is a team-player pairing that made a ton of sense in the first round — and makes even more sense in Round 2.
66. Arizona Cardinals: Cooper Beebe, G/C, Kansas State
71. Arizona Cardinals (from TEN): Brandon Dorlus, DT, Oregon
90. Arizona Cardinals (from HOU): Payton Wilson, LB, NC State
Cox’s Call: People know my take on DeJean, one of the ten best players in this draft.
Beebe I would like, think he gives you a nice versatile player on the interior, don’t think he can play tackle in the NFL, but he seems like a good fit.
Dorlus seems a bit redundant, Austin Booker, Ben Sinnott, Cole Bishop would have been my pick.
Then, Payton Wilson… This dude is a freak of nature, probably the best pure prospect at LB I have scouted in a long, long time. I would say he could be the next Fred Warner. However, he is a walking red flag medically, so getting him here, knowing he could be out before camp, or gives you a good four years, this is the right spot.
Good work as always, Dane.
