Cardinals' Draft Dilemma: Love, Bailey, or Mauigoa?

0:00It's April 23rd. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI Your Gridiron Update. I'm Cory with the story. The Arizona Cardinals are sitting pretty at the 3rd overall pick in the draft, and everyone's got a hot take on what GM Monty Austin Ford and Coach. Mike LaFleur should do. Both offense and defense need boost, so the boards wide open for running backs, edge rushers, or tackles to grab that spot. A bunch of mocks are buzzing about Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love. Sports illustrated in ESPN both have him going third, with insiders saying the new staff loves his speed as a rusher and receiver. He racked up the most scrimmaged touchdowns in college ball since last year, and with James Conner's sideline much of the season, he could light up the backfield right away. Fans and analysts are split though. The cards sign free agent Tyler Alghier recently, so some wonder if Love's more hyped the need.

PFF pushes Texas Tech-Edged David Bailey as the smart play, with his top pass rush grade in 83 pressures last year tying him for most sacks, at 14.5.

NFL.com sees Miami tackle, Francis Maui-Goa sliding in at right tackle next to Paris Johnson Jr., locking down the line. Which ever way they go, this pick shapes their reset, could be a starseller, or a foundation builder as the draft clock ticks down.
