The Arizona Cardinals have made their second fourth-round pick of the day. They again use it to select a defensive lineman.
With the 131st pick in the draft, the pick they acquired as part of the DeAndre Hopkins deal, they select LSU defensive lineman Rashard Lawrence.
He is 6-foot-2 and 308 pounds and can move. He ran the 40 at the combine in 5.08 seconds.
He had 28 tackles, 6.0 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks for the national champion LSU Tigers last season. He had even more production in 2018 with 54 tackles, four sacks and 10 tackles for loss.
He can play all over the defensive line, so he has some versatility.
He should be able to push for playing time as a rookie.
