Just one season removed from a postseason appearance, owner Michael Bidwill firmly believes the Cardinals are still a relevant team.

After finishing 4-13, the Cardinals have the No.3 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft and if they use it wisely, they have a chance to restore some order. —

After that, all attention will be focused on the draft, April 27-29 in Kansas City. In addition to owning the No. 3 overall pick in the first round, the Cardinals are scheduled to pick third in the second, third and fourth rounds, as well as the sixth round. They presently have one pick in the fifth round, projected to be the No.

Should that happen, it opens the door wide open for the Cardinals to pounce on the top-rated prospect overall this year in Alabama edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. Projections tend to change between now and the NFL scouting combine, scheduled for Feb. 28-March 6 in Indianapolis, but it’s difficult to think Anderson still won’t be the most coveted position player in this year’s draft.

If the Bears don’t take him, it’s an absolute no-brainer for the Cardinals, who are in dire need of an edge rusher who can slide in at outside linebacker or defensive end. They lost Jones to free agency and J.J. Watt just retired, so drafting Anderson makes perfect sense.
