The Cardinals have expressed interest in trading down from the No. 8 overall pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com (on Twitter) hears. This jibes with the speculation we’ve heard in recent weeks and it would make lots of sense for a team without a second-round pick.

The Cardinals sent their second-rounder to the Texans in the DeAndre Hopkins trade – a mere bucket of shells for one of the game’s most talented wide receivers. Meanwhile, they’re looking to address needs including offensive tackle, linebacker, and edge between now and the start of the season.
The No. 8 pick could be perfect for the Falcons, who are working feverishly to move up the board for a prime defender. There, GM Thomas Dimitroff might be able to land Ohio State’s Jeff Okudah or Florida’s C.J. Henderson, this year’s top cornerbacks. Or, if Clemson’s Isaiah Henderson slips, the Falcons could tap him to bolster their edge rush and safety depth all in one shot. That choice could also be prime territory for a QB-needy team.
Not sure who Isaiah Henderson thinks he is taking Isaiaha Simmons spotlight
Lol
I understand wanting extra picks to fill needs but let’s not act like that 2nd round pick was ever going to be hopkins good they don’t need to make up for that one
I don’t think it’s needing to make up for the pick, it’s needing to fill other holes to compete.
The Bucs will get up to 8 or 9. In my opinion there’s a fairly big drop off at 15 so Arizona or Jax could have 1-2 upper tier guys (one of the top OTs Or WRs OT maybe Henderson/kinlaw/etc) available at 14 but perhaps not at 16. But ATL sounds pretty determined. They may overpay. But the Bucs are all in now. They can’t come out of this first round without a shiny new tackle.
YES TRADE DOWN!!!!
Fake news! In my mock draft, “Rockin’ Randy’s 2020 Mock Draft” I have them swapping picks with Carolina and taking Jerry Jeudy, WR out of Alabama.
They will draft Ceedee lamb before they draft Jerry Judy.
