Cardinals address O-line, defense in four-round mock draft

They take Jedrick Wills in the first round and address their defense with their next four picks.

Round 4: Virginia LB Jordan Mack

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

Mack began college as a defensive back before moving to linebacker. He has bulked up to 241 pounds at the NFL combine and played about about 230. Despite his history as a defensive back, he produced almost nothing in coverage as a linebacker, breaking up one pass his entire college career with the Cavaliers. He has good movement skills to play in space and is disciplined in a team defense but is not a big playmaker. He did have 14.5 career sacks and six forced fumbles, so there is some potential there.
