Tracking Every Arizona Cardinals 2026 Draft Pick

The NFL Draft has arrived, and the Arizona Cardinals — alongside 31 other teams — are ready to ring in their newest group of rookies.

The Cardinals hold one pick in each round of this year’s draft — for the time being, at least. A trade, of course, is always on the table, given GM Monti Ossenfort’s track record of Draft day deals.

Below is every pick of the Cardinals’ 2026 draft class. The new era begins.

Cardinals Round 1, pick No. 3 – RB Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame

The Cardinals take a big swing and add some high-octane flash to their roster at third overall. Running back Jeremiyah Love, the Notre Dame standout, becomes the first member of the Cardinals’ 2026 rookie class. Love rushed for 1,372 yards and an unbelievable 18 touchdowns in the 2025 college season, averaging 6.9 yards per carry without a lost fumble. He’s scored 35 times in his past two seasons, with nearly 2,500 yards on the ground in the process.

A Cardinals running back room already packed with talent in the form of James Conner, Tyler Allgeier, Trey Benson and Bam Knight will add a fifth member — a high-energy, exciting pick that is sure to grab some national attention. For better or worse, Love will bring some eyes to the Cardinals this season in Mike LaFleur’s offense.

Cardinals Round 2, Pick No. 34 – OL Chase Bisontis, Texas A&M

The Cardinals add to their offensive line with Chase Bisontis out of Texas A&M. Bisontis is an interior offensive lineman who spent much of his career at guard after transitioning from right tackle, and started 34 games across three college seasons. Bisontis has impressive athleticism, scoring high at the NFL combine for his position, and is familiar with Cardinals OL coach Justin Frye.

At 6-foot-5, 315 pounds, Bisontis might just become Love’s best friend up front, and could, conceivably, see his role vary along Arizona’s offensive trenches. There is a decent chance he’s capable of moving back over to right tackle due to his size and length.

Round 3, Pick No. 65 – QB Carson Beck, Miami

The Cardinals may not have necessarily just landed their franchise quarterback, but they did just spend a third-round pick on a passer. Carson Beck, with his 40-plus starts of college experience and 88/32 TD/INT ratio, will join Arizona’s paltry QB group.

Beck is not lacking for size or physical attributes, listed at 6-foot-4, 220 pounds. He’s had his ups and downs, but, at the very least, will be a name to watch in the Cardinals’ QB room this season.

Round 4, Pick No. 104 – DT Kaleb Proctor, Southeastern Louisiana

The Cardinals take their first defensive player of the 2026 Draft. Proctor is a smaller-school prospect without a great deal of size (6-foot-2, 291), but is uber-athletic and produced eight sacks from the interior of the defensive line in 2025.

He’s a bit of an under-the-radar prospect, but could be a potential rotational contributor to Nick Rallis’ defense alongside a healthy Walter Nolen.

Round 5, Pick No. 143 – WR Reggie Virgil, Texas Tech

The Cardinals’ run on offensive players continues. Reggie Virgil brings some vertical speed to the Cardinals’ WR unit and profiles most as an outside receiver. He put up 705 yards and six touchdowns in his senior season at Texas Tech and averaged 12.4 yards per reception. He’s a tick under 6-foot-3 and 187 pounds, but could be a developmental piece down the road for Mike LaFleur’s offense.

Round 6, Pick No. 183 – LB Karson Sharar, Iowa

Arizona adds an off-ball linebacker with Karson Sharar, who played 10-plus games in each of his past three seasons at Iowa. He’s more of a special-teamer at this stage, but managed to record four sacks and 12 TFLs in his final year of college football — his first year as a full-time starter. He, also, is extremely athletic, with high athleticism scores and a touch of versatility.

Round 7, Pick No. 217 – OT Jayden Williams, Ole Miss

The Cardinals round out their 2026 NFL draft with an offensive lineman, this time one who primarily played tackle at the college level. Jayden Williams has played both right and left tackle, and measures in at 6-foot-5, 304 pounds. He’ll likely be a practice squad player for the time being who could develop into a backup.
