5th round – No selections

6th round

Bulldogs . Jaron Bryant. 202. player. 897. . CB

Not many college prospects have four defensive touchdowns to their name but such is the case for Fresno State cornerback Jaron Bryant.

At 6-foot-1, 198 pounds, Bryant has the frame to handle reps on the outside and was one of the anchors of the Bulldogs’ defense in the past three seasons. He’s an excellent tackler and obviously his outstanding ball production could lend himself to creating turnovers at the NFL level as well.

Bryant figures to be a great Day 3 option to add more depth to the Cardinals’ secondary moving forward.

7th round

Steven Montez. 222. player. 857. . QB. Buffaloes

With backup quarterback Brett Hundley entering free agency, Kingsbury could be in the market for a new gunslinger to provide depth behind Kyler Murray.

The Cardinals could turn to Colorado’s Steven Montez on Day 3, which offers plenty of tools and upside to thrive in Arizona’s offensive system.

Montez posted remarkably similar numbers in each of his four seasons as a starter for the Buffs, but took a bit of a step back in his senior year. He possesses good size and athleticism for the position, along with enough arm strength to make every throw at the NFL level. He’s a bit sloppy with his mechanics and decision-making at times, but he’s a good reclamation project for Kingsbury and has enough starting experience to step in during an emergency if Murray goes down with an injury.
