Arizona Cardinals' Draft Dilemma: Trade or Stay?

It's April 2nd, I'm Cory with The Story.

Arizona Cardinals hold the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and Draft Guru

Dan Feldman is floating a trade idea where they swap.

If for the Cowboys 12th and 92nd picks to grab Georgia Offensive Lyman, Monroe Freeling,

Feldman argues that third spot is too rich for the available talent, pushing Arizona to

slide back and stock up on help for their beat-up o-line.

But that deal sounds like a steal for Dallas, not Phoenix.

Back in 2023, GM Monty Austin Ford flipped the exact same third pick for the 12th, a

33rd, plus a future first, and third rounder, a way better haul that loaded the Cardinals

with ammo.

Fans and analysts are calling Philman's mock straight malpractice, especially since

Arizona desperately needs edge rushers to fix their week pass.

Rush.

Ford went heavy on free agent Lyman this off-season, but skipped edges, signaling he might prioritize

that whole early.

Meanwhile, in the scenario, Dallas jumps up to Snag Texas Tech Edge, David Bailey, leaving

the cards potentially watching Prime Pastorist Talon walk.

Austin Ford's sitting tight, likely hunting a blockbuster package, like last time before

pulling the trigger.

Word is, with the roster screaming for upgrades across the board, this draft could redefine

the franchise if he plays the right.

Trade phones lighting up, come April.
