    Last season the Arizona Cardinals finished 4-13 due in large part because quarterback Kyler Murray missed nine games. The Cardinals’ offense was stuck in neutral without any real playmakers.

    But with Murray back, Arizona knew there was an opportunity to add some real punch to the offense via the 2024 NFL draft. This is exactly what they did with the addition of wide receiver Marvin Harrison J. and running back Trey Benson.

    Defensively, Arizona was in need of guys to draw attention from opposing offenses. Getting defensive end Darius Robinson gives them a disruptor who can line up inside and outside. meanwhile, cornerback Max Melton is a confident, sticky boundary cornerback.

    Looking over the Cardinals depth chart projection for the coming season, Harrison, Robinson and Melton as practically locks to start.

    We also think Benson will at worst split carries with running back James Conner but Benson’s explosion is going to make it impossible to keep him off the field.
