Cardinals' Tight End Draft Strategy for 2026

0:00On April 6th, the Arizona Cardinals got their tight-in room locked in for the 2026 season, but Elijah Higgins hits free agency in 20. 27, so drafting a new one later this month, makes sense. They probably won't chase one early in the draft, but a solid prospect could slide into the later rounds where the value was high. Looking back, the Cardinals grabbed Traming Bride in the second round, even with Zach Erts around, and Tip Reeman went third when McBride was already. There, showing they like building depth. Draft experts ranked King and Sadeek from Oregon as the top tight-in, followed by Max Claire out of Ohio State, Joe Royer from Cincinnati, Eli Stowers of. Vanderbilt and Oscar Dello from Georgia. Sadeek looks like a first-round lock, and a couple others might sneak in today one too, so keep an eye on Round 3 if the cards want to reload. Early.
