Ranking every NFL team’s offensive supporting cast post-draft

22. Arizona Cardinals

RB: Kenyan Drake, Chase Edmonds, Eno Benjamin (21/25)

Kenyan Drake showed towards the end of last season that he was more victim of circumstance in Miami than anything else. In eight games with Arizona, Drake averaged 5.4 yards per carry and a touchdown per game; I need to see one more year of consistency before I fully believe in him, but he has shown he can thrive with Kyler Murray. Chase Edmonds is a solid backup and Eno Benjamin has the makings of a late-round steal. All in all, they have a very good backfield in Glendale.

WR: DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk, Larry Fitzgerald, Andy Isabella (24/25)

Not many wide receiver groups will get a near-perfect score, but the Cardinals certainly deserve one. They will pair a top-three receiver in DeAndre Hopkins with the future Hall-of-Famer Larry Fitzgerald and the impressive third-year receiver Christian Kirk. Couple that with the fact they have some young talent like Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler and KeeSean Johnson further down on the roster, this group rivals any other team for the best in the NFL.

TE: Maxx Williams, Dan Arnold (16/25)

This one was tough to grade, mainly because Arizona doesn’t use the tight end. The Cardinals ran the most 10 personnel in the league last season, primarily to invoke a spread system to which Murray was accustomed to at Oklahoma. Still, both Williams and Arnold are below-average tight ends and will not offer much in the passing game when they are on the field.

Offensive Line: D.J. Humphries, Justin Pugh, Mason Cole, J.R. Sweezy, Josh Jones (17/25)

Despite the addition of Josh Jones in the third round, the Cardinals’ offensive line is still a point of weakness on the roster. The Cardinals tied the Falcons for the fifth-most sacks given up last season and they haven’t made much improvement to the unit overall. It’s a good thing Kyler Murray is highly mobile, as he may be running for his life again in 2020.

Total Score: 78/100

Summary: The Cardinals went out and got a top-three receiver in the NFL in one of the most lopsided trades in history. Outside of tight end, the Cardinals have one of the best skill position units in the NFL. Unfortunately, Murray will need to get the ball out of his hands quickly to make up for his detrimental offensive line. Nonetheless, Murray has the necessary weapons to take a sophomore leap.
