Some Cardinals’ fans were disappointed that the GM and coaches decided to play Paris Johnson Jr., the #6 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, at right tackle.
Reasons:
- PJJ was considered by most scouts and draftniks as the top LT prospect in the 2023 class.
- Moving him to RT was his 3rd position change in 3 years: RG in 2021, LT in 2022, RT in 2023.
Fans who were on board with the Cardinals moving PJJ to RT argue that moving sides for a tackle is “no big deal” because, for example, Penei Sewell of the Detroit Lions, was able to do it.
