Now everyone may be thinking, "The Arizona Cardinals already have Paris Johnson Jr. in line; why draft another lineman?"

Kiper had initially mock-drafted Tyler Guyton, but he has now pivoted towards upgrading the Cardinals' defense instead with Darius Robinson, a defensive tackle from Missouri. However, the pivot is less surprising in retrospect – they were among the worst-defending teams in football, ranking dead-last in average QBR and rushing yards allowed and third-to-last in sacks.
