This isn’t the race we thought we’d be in at 4-10, but we might as well embrace the fact that we’re in the race for a top-3 pick. After the Week 16 action, we are slotted in at the #5 spot in the draft order. That loss to the Broncos actually helped us quite a bit in this regard.
But with Kyler Murray (and maybe Colt McCoy) out, Cardinals fans can aim to dream higher (er, lower). We likely can’t get the #1 pick again (see below), but if some things break right, we might be able to land a top-3 pick in next April’s draft.
