Analyst: Arizona Cardinals GM Excelling Early in Career

ARIZONA -- The Arizona Cardinals are under the second-year guidance of GM Monti Ossenfort as 2024 approaches.It's not easy rebuilding any NFL squad that needs the foundation stripped, but Ossenfort and his front office have made good on their promise to do things the right way in the desert.

Yet the Ossenfort era is off to a strong start, and even the national media recognizes that - especially when it comes to what Arizona's done in the previous two NFL drafts. "Despite ranking among the league leaders in draft capital heading into April's draft, Ossenfort rightly recognized his team could stand to add more cost-controlled young talent and traded down twice more during draft weekend. He was able to swap a sixth-round pick for a third-rounder by moving down nine spots in the second round, then netted a sixth-round pick for moving down three spots in the third round.

"At the same time, history tells us the best way to build a team out of mediocrity into a contender is to amass draft capital. It's how Jimmy Johnson built the 1990s Cowboys dynasty and how Bill Belichick built the Patriots into Super Bowl winners over the past 20 years. Tom Brady, quite famously, was a sixth-round compensatory pick.
