The Cardinals have the No. 29 pick in the first round of the NFL draft, which will begin on Thursday at 5 p.m. local time. Last year the team chose tackle D.J. Humphries with the No. 24 pick, which four prognosticators correctly pegged.
Here are some of this year’s mock draft selections for the Cardinals by prominent NFL reporters:
Noah Spence, OLB, Eastern Kentucky (picked by Peter Schrager, FOX Sports; Charles Davis, CBS; Rob Rang, CBS; Lance Zierlein, NFL.com)
Spence has the talent to go higher, but he was suspended at Ohio State for failed drug tests and was arrested for second-degree disorderly conduct after transferring to Eastern Kentucky.
