NFL Draft 2026: Cardinals' Pick at 3rd Overall

0:00On April 23rd, the 2026 NFL Draft kicks off day one tonight, with the Arizona Cardinals sitting pretty at the third overall pick. Expect the action to start early, but like always, the top teams dragged their feet on the clock. Cardinals fans mark your calendars for around 8.24pm, Eastern Time which hits 5.24pm local. Looking back at recent drafts, even when teams know their guy, they still milk every second. That slow roll means the cars won't hear their pick until prime time, building that suspense for everyone watching. Betting odds are heating up, with Fan Duel Sportsbook listing David Bailey and Jeremiah love, dead even at plus 200 to go third overall. Leaguewide, fans are buzzing about who lands in Arizona, but these odds cover any team grabbing that spot. The twist? Those plus 200 lines are for the number 3 pick itself, not just what the Cardinals do. Could mean a trade if someone covets Bailey hard, or maybe the card's interest in love is more smoke than fire.
