2017 NFL Draft: Arizona Cardinals 7-round mock
Jeremy Sprinkle
Tight End, Arkansas
Perhaps most famous for taking more than $450 worth of merchandise before a bowl game, Jeremy Sprinkle has what it takes to be a solid tight end. He’s an excellent blocker and can contribute in the passing game as well. While Sprinkle needs to bulk up, he has the size and athleticism necessary to be a starting tight end in the NFL.
Jermaine Eluemunor
Guard, Texas A&M
After losing guard Earl Watford, the Arizona Cardinals need to add a guard in the draft. This isn’t a good draft for them, which puts them in a bit of a pickle. However, Jermaine Eleumunor could be a late round gem for them. He has perfect size for the position as well as excellent arm length. Eluemunor likely needs some time to develop, but should develop into a starter by 2018 or 2019. As long as the Cardinals add a veteran at some point, they should be fine.
Josh Harvey-Clemons
Strong Safety, Louisville
For years, the Cardinals have been tortured by Kam Chancellor of the Seattle Seahawks. Why not draft a guy who has drawn a ton of comparisons to him? Josh Harvey-Clemons is huge, standing at 6-foot-4 and 217 pounds. He’s a physical presence who can also make plays. While Harvey-Clemons is a risk due to failed drug tests, he possesses a unique enough upside to warrant a late round pick.

Ben Boulware
Linebacker, Clemson
The Arizona Cardinals are primed to lose two linebackers after the 2017 NFL season. Boulware has the intensity and physical tools necessary to step in as a starting inside linebacker. Sitting a year should do him well, as perhaps it will help him mature. But at the same time, Boulware’s style of play fits perfectly with the Cardinals.
