Full 7-round Arizona Cardinals mock draft simulation

We are a week closer to the 2026 NFL draft, and it is time for another full, seven-round Arizona Cardinals mock draft simulation. In this mock draft simulation, using Pro Football Network's simulator, the Cardinals made no trades despite getting offered many.

The land a tackle, but he won't likely get to play until 2027, so they will have to make due with who they have on the roster now until then.

Round 1, No. 3 overall: Ohio State EDGE/LB Arvell Reese

While the Cardinals can go EDGE or tackle here, Reese is going to be hard to pass up on. GM Monti Ossenfort has only taken SEC and Big Ten players in Rounds 1 and 2 of the draft in three years. The Cardinals need a pass rusher and have done absolutely zero with their outside linebacker group this offseason. While Reese might need some development, he could have a perfect rookie year role as a third-down pass rusher, letting the Cardinals take Zaven Collins off the field for pass-rushing downs.

Round 2, No. 34 overall: Alabama QB Ty Simpson

The initial plan was to target a tackle in Round 2, but there are more than whispers about the Cardinals targeting Simpson, and their quarterback room is set up perfectly for Simpson to wait a little bit and then take over at some point. That is why Jacoby Brissett would be a starter, to bridge the gap until a younger, more promising QB is ready.

Round 3, No. 65 overall: Oklahoma DT Gracen Halton

Halton is 6-3 and 293 pounds, and he is athletic. He ran the 40 at the combine in 4.82 seconds. He is lean for the defensive interior but can make plays. He had 3.5 sacks and seven tackles for loss last season for the Sooners.

Round 4, No. 104 overall: Oregon OT Isaiah World

He is 6-8 and 318 pounds. He tore his ACL in the College Football Playoff, so his rookie season is probably not going to happen. And while right tackle is a perceived need for the Cardinals, they have a bunch of possibilities for 2026 — Josh Fryar, Demontrey Jacobs, Christian Jones or newly signed Elijah Wilkinson.

Round 5, No. 143: Georgia TE Oscar Delp

With Elijah Higgins in the final year of his contract, the Cardinals could add a tight end with an eye on 2027. He is 6-5 and 245 and a fluid athlete. He is an unspectacular pass catcher but can do it, and he is a solid blocker.

Round 6, No. 183 overall: Texas Tech WR Reggie Virgil

At Miami in 2024, he led the conference, averaging 19.9 yards per reception. He is 6-3 and 187 pounds with a 4.57-second 40. Last season at Texas Tech, he had 57 receptions for 705 yards and six touchdowns.

Round 7, No. 217 overall: Texas A&M RB Le'Veon Moss

He is a 5-11, 203-pound physical back.
