The Arizona Cardinals lost again on Sunday, falling for the fifth straight game. Their record is now 3-8-1. With the loss, they have moved up in the 2020 NFL draft order.
Last week, they would have had the ninth overall pick if the season had ended then. A week later, if the season were to end now, the Cardinals would have the seventh pick in the draft, according to an updated 2020 NFL draft order.
Who has been selected with the seventh overall pick in the last few years?
- This year, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected pass rusher Josh Allen.
- In 2018, it was another Josh Allen taken seventh overall. That year, it was the quarterback Josh Allen going to the Buffalo Bills.
- The Los Angeles Chargers selected receiver Mike Williams with the seventh pick in 2017.
- In 2016, the San Francisco 49ers selected defensive lineman DeForest Buckner.
- In 2015, the Chicago Bears drafted receiver Kevin White with the No. 7 pick.
- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers landed receiver Mike Evans at No. 7 in 2014.
- The Cardinals drafted guard Jonathan Cooper seventh overall in 2013.
White and Cooper were busts, but the others have been or appear to be very good players.
These are the examples of the type of player the Cardinals could add if they end up with the seventh pick.
