Round 4: Isaiah Prince, OT, Ohio State

Arizona begins to build its infrastructure along the offensive line. Isaiah Prince is selected as the 103rd overall selection of the fourth round. He gives the Cardinals more depth at the tackle position.

Prince was a three-year starter at right tackle at Ohio State. He is a huge physical presence on the field. He stands 6-6, weighing 305 pounds. Although he played right tackle, he has the speed to block edge rushers on either side with a 5.09-second 40-yard dash.

His size and speed should be beneficial to the running game, as well. Arizona had the bottom-ranked rushing offense in 2018. A patchwork offensive line did not help at all. The Cardinals have signed two free agent linemen, both played the guard position. Max Garcia and J.R. Sweezy will add quality leadership to the offensive line. Prince will learn how to prepare for games the NFL way.

Most of all, Arizona traded for Marcus Gilbert. Gilbert played right tackle in Pittsburgh. He has one year left on his contract which gives him plenty of time to mentor Prince. The offensive line continues to get better with the addition of Prince.
