The Arizona Cardinals head into the 2023 NFL Draft with a hot commodity.
Barring a trade, the Cardinals hold the third overall pick in April’s draft.
The Cardinals already have a franchise quarterback on the books, all but eliminating their need at that position.
In hopes of acquiring a franchise-altering player of their own, several teams have reached out to the Cardinals regarding this pick, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
At least six teams have inquired with the Arizona Cardinals about trading up for the third overall pick in the upcoming April 27 NFL Draft, per league sources. Cardinals still are mulling whether to move pick or make it.

As Schefter reported, the Cardinals have heard from at least six teams regarding this pick, leaving them with a difficult decision.
After this news was made public, many fans responded, each giving their input on the situation.
Only reason this info was released was to drive up the price amongst bidding teams.

As this fan suggests, this could just be a negotiating tactic, drummed up by the Cardinals to increase their asking price.
The first two picks are currently owned by the Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans, who are expected to take quarterbacks.
Beyond those two picks, however, remain a mystery.

As this Philadelphia Eagles fan indicates, he believes that Howie Roseman will trade up with the Cardinals, adding Will Anderson to their defense.
Anderson is widely regarded as one of the draft’s best prospects.
Will the Cardinals trade away this pick if Anderson is still on the board?
Unless you think Will Anderson is a Garrett/Watt/ Bosa level talent, you trade down, imo.

This fan believes that the Cardinals should trade back in the draft unless they are certain that Anderson is a generational talent.
With the draft rapidly approaching, teams like the Cardinals are faced with difficult decisions, especially regarding potential trades.
