Cardinals go defense early, offense late in new mock draft simulation

Check out the results of this seven-round simulation where they land offensive and defensive help.

We begin our weekly mock draft simulations as we approach the 2021 NFL draft. The purpose of them is to play out different scenarios at the top of the draft, whether it is taking a particular position or making a trade to see how it might make the rest of the draft play out for the Cardinals.

In this first mock draft simulation I ran from The Draft Network, the scenario was the Cardinals taking a cornerback, which is a popular pick in many mocks.
