2023 NFL Draft: Arizona draft updates, news, analysis

The 2023 NFL Draft is a pivotal one for the Arizona Cardinals. What will they do in it?

Follow our updates as we keep track of the Arizona Cardinals' selections in the draft, which runs Thursday through Saturday, as well as connections to Arizona colleges and high schools.

Draft room dog

TV viewers might have noticed a dog in the Cardinals "war" room during Saturday's draft. General manager Monti Ossenfort explained the canine Cardinal, who belongs to owner Michael Bidwill.

"That was Michael's dog. That was Michael's dog up there. And it was great when everybody would get excited. Or when we would clap at the pick, she would get excited and start barking and so I don't know if she liked the pick or didn't like the pick," Ossenfort said. "You know, it's hard to say. But that was a good addition for Saturday of the draft."

ASU draft tradition continues with another selection

For the 10th year in a row, Arizona State has a draft selection, with nose tackle Nesta Jade Silvera going to the Las Vegas Raiders with the seventh pick of the seventh round.

Silvera was in Tempe just one season, transferring from the University of Miami. He was the lone ASU representative last month at the NFL Combine. The only other Pac 12 teams with selections in each of the last 10 years are USC, UCLA and Washington.

Other ASU players were signed as undrafted free agents right after the draft, including linebacker Kyle Soelle to the Cardinals. Running back Xazavian Valladay was signed by the Houston Texans and defensive end Travez Moore by the Carolina Panthers.

The Cardinals, according to a report from the NFL Network, also signed former Michigan State defensive lineman to a deal that includes $200,000 in guaranteed money.

Cardinals wrap up 2023 NFL Draft choosing DL Dante Stills

The Cardinals' draft appears complete, with defensive tackle Dante Stills out of West Virginia going in the sixth round at Pick. No. 213.

Stills, 6-foot-3½ and 286 pounds, is the son of Gary Stills, who was a third-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 1999 and played 10 years in the NFL.

Stills was a two-time All-Big-12 selection. He had 52 ½ tackles for loss in college, a West Virginia school record, and also set a school record for games played with 58 in his career.

Tune's great-great uncle was Cardinals' draft pick in 1936

As it turns out, newly drafted quarterback Clayton Tune has a family connection to the Cardinals. His great-great uncle Jim Lawrence was drafted by Arizona/St. Louis/Chicago in 1936. It was at the first-ever NFL Draft.

Tune called it "Full circle" on Twitter.

Another cornerback for Cardinals in draft - Kei'Trel Clark of Louisville

The Cardinals took their second cornerback of this draft in Kei'Trel Clark of Louisville. He had one interception returned for touchdown and 51 tackles in 2022 before opting out of the Fenway Bowl.

Clark also ran a 4.42-second 40-yard dash at the combine. He said Cardinals safety Budda Baker is a player he looks up to, and joked that going from the Louisville Cardinals (coach Jonathan Gannon's alma mater) to the Arizona Cardinals is "once a Cardinal, always a Cardinal. They took that one to heart."

The Cardinals have one pick remaining in the sixth round, a compensatory pick, and that will conclude their 2023 draft.

Cardinals take Auburn LB Owen Pappoe with second fifth-round pick

The Cardinals drafted their first true linebacker of this year's draft in Owen Pappoe of Auburn.

Pappoe was a two-time captain at Auburn. He missed eight games to injury in 2021, but came back and played 12 games in 2022. His 93 tackles (two for loss with a sack) led the Tigers, and he also had interception, two forced fumbles, three pass breakups.

At 6 feet and 225 pounds, Pappoe has been labeled undersized for his position, but coming out of high school he was the nation’s top-rated outside linebacker prospect, according to his Auburn bio.

"I'm a very coachable player and I'm a hell of an athlete, man, so I'm pretty sure that's what JG (Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon) and the (Cardinals) saw in me and it's what led them to make this pick," Pappoe said after his selection.

Pappoe smiled through the speaker phone as he answered questions from reporters. He said looks forward to matching Gannon's energy when he arrives.

Quarterback Clayton Tune is Cardinals first pick of fifth round

The Cardinals brought in quarterback depth with the 139th overall pick, choosing former University of Houston quarterback Clayton Tune.

Tune, 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, is part of a strong tradition of Houston quarterbacks who have made it to the NFL, including David Klingler, Case Keenum, Kevin Kolb (a former Cardinal) and Andre Ware.

Tune's accolades in 2022 include being third in the nation in passing touchdowns with 40, fifth in the nation in passing yards per game at 313.4, finishing second in school history in career passing touchdowns with 104 and third in career completions with 956. He offered an opinion of himself after being drafted, when speaking via conference call Saturday.

"I think I'm the best quarterback in this class," Tune said. He offered reasons why he believes that to be true.

"If you just look at my body of work, you know, the effect that I have on my team that I play on, elevate everyone around me," Tune said. "I'm a natural leader, people follow me and see the work that I'm putting in and the mindset that I have, and they want to follow suit. And I just have that no-flinch mentality."

Cardinals choose guard Jon Gaines II with No. 122 overall pick

The Cardinals made the first of their five draft picks on Saturday, selecting offensive lineman Jon Gaines II out of UCLA in the fourth round with their only pick of the round.

Gaines. 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, spent five seasons at UCLA, playing in a prolific offense that ran the ball with a lot of success. Gaines called himself a versatile player who can also play center, a position of need for the Cardinals with Rodney Hudson having retired and no definite solution at that spot. Recently signed free agent Hjalte Froholdt didn't make his first start at center until last season for the Cleveland Browns, and the Cardinals also have second-year pro Lecitus Smith who can play center.

With Gaines, Froholdt and Smith, the Cardinals still don't have a true center but appear to be building a roster of versatile players who can be used at different spots.

Gaines started two games at center for the Bruins in 2021, and also played center and left guard in the East-West Shrine Bowl after last season.

"I think that's my biggest strength as a player. You know, UCLA blessed me with the opportunity to play all across the offensive line," Gaines said moments after being drafted. "Had a lot of snaps at a lot of different positions. And I'm just excited to have versatility. I feel I can play anything, as long as I'm able to get on the field."

Day 3 under way, former Saguaro star Ringo chosen by Eagles

Georgia cornerback, two-time national champion and former Scottsdale Saguaro standout Kelee Ringo was finally chosen in the NFL Draft Saturday, going to the Philadelphia Eagles with the 105th overall pick and in the fourth round.

Some had figured Ringo to be picked earlier in the draft. But the 6-foot-2, 207 pound defensive back becomes the ninth former Saguaro Sabercat to go in the NFL Draft.

Recapping Cardinals' trades on Day 2, and looking ahead to Day 3 picks

The Cardinals made trades in the second and third rounds. The first trade got them rush end B.J. Olujari from LSU with the 41st overall pick, cornerback Garrett Williams of Syracuse with the 72nd pick (third round) and a 2023 third round pick.

In the third round, Arizona traded from the 96th overall pick for Nos. 122 (fourth round), 139 (fifth)) and 168 (fifth).

It all leaves the Cardinals with five picks on the final day of the 2023 NFL Draft: one in the fourth round, two in the fifth round and two in the sixth. Arizona also has two sixth-round picks, No. 180 overall and No. 213, a compensatory pick.

More importantly, all of GM Monti Ossenfort's trades in the first two days have netted the Cardinals four additional draft picks in 2024. They are a first- and third-rounder from the Houston Texans, a third-round pick from the Tennessee Titans and a fifth-round pick from the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles' pick is a the result of a deal the Cardinals reached with Philadelphia to settle tampering charges against Arizona just before the draft started on Thursday.

NFL draft 2023: Each pick and analysis of second and third rounds

Cardinals add WR from Pac-12 in fourth round

Arizona added wide receiver Michael Wilson out of Stanford with the 94th pick of the draft.

Wilson (6-2, 213) was limited by injuries, but could fill a gap should the Cardinals part ways with DeAndre Hopkins, as is rumored.

The Cardinals held the No. 96, but traded that to the Lions late in the fourth round. Arizona received a fourth-round pick (No. 122) and two fifth-round picks (Nos. 138 and 168) in the 2023 draft.

Arizona Cardinals add DB Garrett Williams

The Cardinals had plenty of options with the No. 72 overall pick in the NFL draft and selected cornerback Garrett Williams out of Syracuse.

Williams (5-10, 192 lbs.) is recovering from a torn ACL suffered last season, but is expected to be ready prior to preseason camp. In the first half to the 2022 season, he had 36 tackles, two interceptions and three pass breakups and seven starts.

B.J. Ojulari to Cardinals in second round

The Cardinals used the 41st overall pick, their only one of the second round at the moment, to select LSU linebacker/edge rusher B.J. Ojulari.

The 6-foot-2 Ojulari is listed as a defensive end on LSU's athletics website. He had 16 ½ sacks in three seasons in Baton Rouge and was a team captain in 2022. He also made first team, All-SEC as selected by SEC coaches and the Associated Press last season.

Cardinals trade second-round pick to Titans

The Cardinals continued their wheeling and dealing into Day 2 of the draft, trading the No. 33 overall pick to the Tennessee Titans, who used it to select quarterback Will Levis from Kentucky.

Arizona also sent the 81st overall pick (third round) to Tennessee for the 41st pick, the 72nd pick (third round) and a third-round choice in 2024.

Clearly, Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort is stockpiling for the future. Arizona has two first-round picks in 2024, one they will get automatically and one from the Houston Texans in the trade that moved Houston higher up in the first round Thursday. The Cardinals also have a pair of 2024 third-round picks.

Cardinals Draft Day 2 opens with Paris Johnson Jr.'s first public comments as Cardinal

Day 2 of the NFL Draft is under way from Kansas City, and the Cardinals have the second pick of the day (No. 33 overall). It's their only pick of the second round for the moment.

Earlier Friday, first-round pick Paris Johnson Jr. spoke to members of the media with his family in attendance at Cardinals headquarters. Johnson had the auditorium in fits of laughter with some of his comments.

Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort address tampering, DeAndre Hopkins

New Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort held a post-first round news conference after the Cardinals selected Paris Johnson Jr. with the sixth overall pick of Thursday's draft. He had some interesting comments.

Ossenfort said no trade of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is foreseeable over the course of the draft, so it's conceivable that Hopkins will remain a Cardinal for a while longer until the team gets the right offer for him.

"DeAndre is a Cardinal and we're moving forward," Ossenfort said.

Regarding the trade the Cardinals worked out with the Philadelphia Eagles to settle an investigation into tampering by the Cardinals stemming from when Ossenfort contacted now-Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon when not allowed to do so, Ossenfort offered a comment.

"Here's what I'd say, guys. You know, I made a mistake. I own that. You know, it's a situation that we were able to resolve. I've apologized to (Cardinals owner) Michael Bidwill, I've apologized to our staff. And you know, I think the deal that we worked out, you know, it is what it is, and we're just moving on from it."

Arizona high school product Bijan Robinson drafted by Falcons at No. 8

Former Tucson Salpointe Catholic running back Bijan Robinson was taken in eighth overall Thursday in the NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons.

He is the third-highest former Arizona high school NFL draft pick. Former Chandler defensive end Dion Jordan was the third overall pick in 2013 to the Miami Dolphins. Former Phoenix Union linebacker Fred Carr went fifth overall to the Green Bay Packers in 1968.

Running backs normally don't go this high in the draft. But Robinson is special. He's a great pass catcher and an electric runner.

He won the Doak Walker Award for the best running back in college football last season at Texas when he ran for 1,580 yards on 258 carries last season, averaging 6.1 yards per carry. He had 18 touchdowns. He caught 19 passes for 314 yards and two more TDs last season in 12 games.

“To be picked at No. 8 just shows how truly valuable he is even playing the running back position,” said Salpointe coach Eric Rogers, who was an assistant when Robinson was twice named the Ed Doherty Award winner at Salpointe. “The Falcons are fortunate to have such a high character, hard-working, talented and humble football player and  an even better person joining their franchise.”

Former Salpointe head coach Dennis Bene was in Kansas City for the draft as one of Robinson’s guests.

“Everyone here in KC are so proud of Bijan,” Bene said. “He’s a remarkable young man and will have an immediate impact in Atlanta. Very deserving of a top-10 pick and speaks to how special he is.”

Cardinals swing another big trade, move to No. 6 pick

Minutes after the Cardinals trade out of the third spot, they traded back up from No. 12 to No. 6 with the Detroit Lions and selected Ohio State offensive lineman Paris Johnson Jr.

Arizona traded the 34th overall pick, the Cardinals' original second-rounder, to Detroit along with the 12th overall pick.

Johnson was the consensus top-rated offensive lineman in the draft and according to reports, quarterback Kyler Murray had advocated for his selection.

Cardinals trade No. 3 overall pick to Texans, get 12th pick and more

The first big bombshell trade of the draft came early, when the Arizona Cardinals traded out of the No. 3 spot and sent it to the Houston Texans for the 12th overall pick, No. 33 (second round), a first-round pick in 2024 and a third-round pick in 2024.

Houston also got the 105th overall pick from the Cardinals in the deal. Reaction to the trade from the Republic's Greg Moore can be found here:

So now, to see who is available to the Cardinals at No. 12. Clearly the Cardinals had offers for the third pick and chose the one they liked the best to build for the future. Arizona already has three additional draft picks in 2024.

With the trade, the Cardinals now have a later first-round pick, two second-rounders, two third-rounders, one in the fifth round and two in the sixth.

Cardinals make trade with Eagles to settle tampering charge

Just as the NFL Draft was set to begin, the Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals settled a tampering investigation involving former Eagles defensive coordinator-now Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon. The terms of the settlement are as follows: the Eagles traded the 94th overall (late third round) pick in this year's draft and a 2024 fifth-round pick to the Cardinals for the 66th pick.

Pick No. 66 was the Cardinals' first of the third round, as the draft stands.

The Cardinals and Eagles released a joint statement on the matter moments before the draft started.

"The Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles have agreed on the settlement of an issue concerning an instance of impermissible contact by Arizona during its head coaching search this past January.

"The Cardinals self-reported to the National Football League that General Manager Monti Ossenfort had a phone conversation with then-Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon in the days following the NFC Championship Game, a period during which contact is not permitted under the League’s Anti-Tampering Policy."

Not a great way to get things started for the Cardinals, who are already dealing with other off the field matters. And not exactly a good start for the new GM, as this action is simply fuel for more criticism of the organization.

Why there are only 31 picks in the NFL Draft this year

The first round of Thursday's NFL Draft will end with 31 picks and not 32. This is because the Miami Dolphins were stripped of their first-round pick for violations of NFL policies related to the integrity of the game.

Last August after a six-month investigation found that the Dolphins, primarily team owner Stephen Ross and vice chairman/limited partner Bruce Beal, violated the anti-tampering policy three times from 2019 to 2022 by holding conversations with quarterback Tom Brady and the agent for former New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton.

Miami also lost its third-round pick in 2024. The Dolphins will get their first pick of 2023 in Friday's second round.

Trey McBride, last year's top pick for the Cardinals, looks back on Draft Weekend 2022

The Cardinals dealt their first round pick last year to the Baltimore Ravens for Marquise "Hollywood" Brown last year on Day 1 of the draft, so their first pick was No. 55 overall in the second round.

That was tight end Trey McBride, who was asked about that experience Wednesday at Cardinals veteran mini-camp.

McBride said it was a stressful time, and that this year, he can enjoy watching the draft.

Arizona Cardinals could trade DeAndre Hopkins to Baltimore Ravens during NFL draft

In addition to the ongoing speculation about the team being interested in trading out of the No. 3 overall spot to acquire more draft picks, word came out 3½ hours before the start of the draft itself that the Ravens had agreed to a five-year contract extension with quarterback Lamar Jackson, which could, in turn, fast-track a trade that would send wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins from Arizona to Baltimore.

The Republic's Bob McManaman has more on a possible DeAndre Hopkins to Baltimore Ravens trade.
