In addition to first-round pick Isaiah Simmons and sixth-round pick Evan Weaver, a pair of linebackers, the team's free-agent signings were all defense: defensive linemen Jordan Phillips and Trevon Coley and linebackers Devon Kennard and De'Vondre Campbell. Now they add size up front. Fotu is...

Benjamin joins a position group that features Kenyan Drake, Chase Edmonds and fellow Sun Devil D.J. Foster, and he should be immediately comfortable in the Cardinals backfield. Benjamin talked to Drake minutes after being selected and worked out with Edmonds earlier this offseason. He is also...

The Cardinals didn't have a second-round pick, having sent it to the Texans in the trade for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. So their lone pick Friday was not surprisingly spent on a tackle, after that was a position many thought the Cards would go in the first round. D.J. Humphries just signed...

Information is king during the pre-draft evaluation process, and Kliff Kingsbury has been unwittingly stockpiling it for more than a decade. The Cardinals coach held various jobs on the collegiate level for 11 years prior to 2019, which helped pay off in Friday's third-round selection of...
