Cardinals' Draft: Top Tight Ends to Watch

0:00On April 22nd, the Arizona Cardinals are gearing up for the 2026 NFL draft with tight ends high on their wish list, since they could plug. Holes anywhere, but this spot screams need. They might snag the top guy, King and Sadeek out of Oregon, right in round one. He's the consensus number one at the position and could be the only tight and gone that early. Guys like Eli Stowers from Vanderbilt, Shine in Round 2, an all-American with explosive jumps in solid production last year, while Max Clare from Ohio State brings athleticism and blocking after transferring from Purdue. Deeper into the draft, Stanford's Big Sam Rausch at 6'6 could anchor the line in Round 4, and Cincinnati's Joe Royer set a school record, with 50 catches topping even Travis Kelsey's mark. Late rounds offer sleepers too, like Utah's down in Bentley who blew up with six touchdowns or Alabama's Josh Cuevas, a blocker with pass game. Upside these picks could reshape the Cardinals' offense without breaking the bank.
