Arizona Cardinals have many decisions to make regarding the roster in 2023 and how it sets the stage for the re-entering into the competitive football arena in 2024. Every move must be calculated in an effort to maximize talent evaluation during the 2023 season to really set themselves up for future success. First-time GM Monti Ossenfort and first-time head coach Jonathan Gannon have their work cut out for them, but there are a few moves that must happen: picking up the fifth-year option for Isaiah Simmons and extending Budda Baker. While both are technically future moves, the Cardinals only have until May 1st to decide on whether they're going to pick up the option for Simmons. Baker, with two years left on his deal, is the heartbeat of the Arizona Cardinals, and solidifying him as a Cardinals beyond the 2024 season is paramount to the future success of this team. Daniel Jeremiah and Mel Kiper have their new mock drafts out as well, different in opinion regarding what the Arizona Cardinals will do with the third overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
