The Arizona Cardinals will make two picks in the fourth round of the 2020 draft on Saturday unless they make a trade to change that. They enter Day 3 of the draft with a few needs they could address. Among them are a pass rusher and a tight end.
They address both in Draft Wire managing editor Luke Easterling’s mock draft of the fourth round for Saturday.
With their first pick of the round, the eighth of the round, they take Utah pass rusher Bradlee Anae.
He is one of my personal favorites for the remaining picks because he reminds me of a slightly more athletic Markus Golden, who has been solid in the pros. Anae plays with relentless effort and would be a great rotational pass rusher to have and, with a limited snap count, would be highly efficient.
With the second, the Cardinals are projected to land Missouri tight end Albert Okwuegbunam.
The Cardinals do not use tight ends heavily in the passing game but he is big and fast. He has developing he needs to do, especially as a blocker and route runner, but his player comp is Mark Andrews of the Baltimore Ravens.
