Cardinals have unique distinction in 2019 draft

The Arizona Cardinals, after having been awarded four compensatory picks, have 11 selections in the 2019 NFL draft. it is well known and has been well discussed that they have the first overall pick in the draft, as a result of their 3-13 season in 2018.

They have the first pick in the first six rounds of the draft.

They have six picks in the final two rounds. Among those picks is the final pick of the draft — No, 254. The player selected will have the title of Mr. Irrelevant.

Barring a trade, the Cardinals will open the draft and close the draft.

They will have the most relevant pick first overall and then Mr. Irrelevant.

Unless it changes, the Cardinals will have to put in the most draft hours of any team.

They will be on the clock first on Day 1 and last on Day 3.
