Arizona Cardinals add offense in newest two-round 2026 NFL Mock Draft from ESPN

For the Arizona Cardinals, fixing their team is not just about one draft, but getting the draft right and getting high impact players is going to be a key to fixing their team.

Matt Miller dropped his first 2026 NFL Mock Draft on Monday, and he was brave enough to do two rounds, and for the Arizona Cardinals, it is a clear building block draft, where they should get better because of it.

From E$PN:

3. Arizona Cardinals

Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami

Mauigoa to the Cardinals is one of the most seamless fits in the first round. Arizona must shore up its offensive line and needs a long-term starter at right tackle opposite Paris Johnson Jr. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound Mauigoa was a three-year starter at Miami and allowed only two sacks in 16 games during the Hurricanes’ run to the national title game last season. The Cardinals are desperate for that type of consistency, with 36-year-old Kelvin Beachum starting 11 games in 2025 and no long-term answer on the roster.

There are questions about quarterback Kyler Murray’s future, but like with the Jets above, there are no solutions at QB in this part of the draft beyond Mendoza. So the Cardinals should sit tight and go OT.

34. Arizona Cardinals

Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama

Marvin Harrison Jr.’s first two seasons haven’t quite gone to plan, and the Cardinals don’t have much at receiver behind him and Michael Wilson. Bernard has elite ability to make plays after the catch and is a dynamic player who is capable of lining up all over the alignment — including in the backfield, in the slot and at X receiver.

Interesting to see a wide receiver in round two, but bringing in an “offensive guru” they may want more weapons on their plate, especially with what they have coming up in terms of contracts at the wide receiver position.

Adding Mauigoa and Bernard would be a nice haul, what would you think?
