Cardinals' Round 2 Picks Shape Contender Core

0:00On April 24th, day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft kicks off Friday afternoon at 4pm, Arizona time, that 7pm Eastern. We're talking 2nd and 3rd rounds, and the Arizona Cardinals hold the 2nd pick in round 2 at number 34 overall, plus the first in. Round 3 at number 65. The cards shocked some folks by grabbing running back Jeremiah Love in the first round. They weren't hurting at that spot, but his skills were just too elite to ignore, even with holes elsewhere on the roster. Fans and analysts are buzzing about their biggest needs heading into today, edge rushers, tackles, a quarterback, and guards. Those positions still sit untouched after day 1, and the pressure is on to film. At the top of round 2, quality edge guys and a few strong guards are on the board, along with decent cornerbacks and defensive tackles, though those, aren't screaming priorities right now. Keep an eye on picks 34 and 65. This is where the Cardinals could flip the script and build that contender core for the long haul.
