32. . CB. Arizona Cardinals. Cam Smith. 11. player

The Arizona Cardinals took a bad loss to the Minnesota Vikings this past weekend, and are in serious danger of picking in the top 10 in 2023. Quarterback Kyler Murray has been up and down this season, but he got DeAndre Hopkins back this weekend, and that should help them moving forward.

Watching them play on Sunday, they need help in the defensive backfield, and they get some here with Cam Smith from South Carolina. This is a kid who will be a shutdown corner at the next level, and Arizona has been lacking that since Patrick Peterson left.

. WR. Chicago Bears. Jaxon Smith-Njigba. 12. player. 57

The Chicago Bears were players at the trade deadline in 2022, as they added Chase Claypool from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Claypool finally gives quarterback Justin Fields a weapon, but at No. 12 overall, they get their next true WR1 in Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

In fact, some feel Smith-Njigba is so good that he will creep into the top 10, so getting him at No. 12 is a steal for Chicago. They need to build around Fields if they want him to reach his full potential, and Smith-Njigba helps them start that process.
