Answering the top offseason questions for the Cardinals

Cards Wire staff gives their takes on the biggest questions of the offseason.

If given a fair offer, should the Cardinals move down in the draft to acquire more picks?

Alex:

While it would certainly be tempting to acquire more draft capital, I believe a team looking to make a big jump needs elite talent that makes those around them better. With pick No. 8, and with the pool of QB-needy teams ahead of them, the Cardinals will have elite talent available to them. For their much-anticipated jump in 2020 to come to fruition, they must take the best player and stay put with the eighth pick.

Jess:

I would consider it. Since I have several players I like, if a team a few picks back wants to trade up and I can still land one of them, it’s a good move. Also, keep an eye on their second-round pick. That might be the pick to move back from. They have an early fourth-round pick and then don’t have another one until late on the sixth round, so that might be a way to get something between those picks.
