Day 3 of the 2026 NFL draft begins at noon ET on Saturday (9 a.m. Arizona time). The Arizona Cardinals have the fourth pick of the fourth round, and then have selections in the final three rounds.
ESPN's Jordan Redi mocked the first 10 picks of the fourth round, and if things go the way he projects, the Cardinals will finally address the defensive edge.
He has them selecting Tennessee EDGE Joshua Josephs.
He is 6-3 and 242 pounds with long 34 1/4-inch arms. He played four seasons for the Volunteers. In all, he had 9.5 career sacks, 22.5 tackles for loss, nine tipped passes and six forced fumbles.
The Cardinals have not changed their outside linebacker room this offseason. No one left. They didn't sign anyone and they haven't drafted anyone, despite only getting a combined 5.5 sacks from Zaven Collins, Baron Browning, Jordan Burch and BJ Ojulari. Josh Sweat had a career-high 12 sacks but logged zero in the fourth quarter of games.
