"Unveiling the Arizona Cardinals' Winning 2023 NFL Draft Strategy"

The Arizona Cardinals gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at general manager Monti Ossenfort's wild first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, which included multiple deals and numerous phone calls. Ossenfort's early persistence paid off with the successful execution of the first trade of the evening with the Houston Texans, and he later worked his way back into the 5-7 pick range to nab offensive lineman Paris Johnson with the sixth overall pick in exchange for picks 12, 34, and 168. Ossenfort credited his staff for their preparation and trade scenario analysis.

Arizona Cardinals prioritize quality and bonding during rookie minicamp.

The Arizona Cardinals held a condensed rookie minicamp with only 2023 draft picks and signed rookie free agents, allowing for more detailed work with the coaching staff. Offensive linemen Paris Johnson and Jon Gaines II, who are also roommates, were the only rookie offensive linemen on the field with OL coach Klayton Adams, allowing them to build chemistry. Gaines, who is also an option at guard, has been among the names in the mix for the center spot since he was drafted last month in the fourth round. Quarterback Clayton Tune displayed confidence in his abilities, but clarified that he is not cocky.

Cardinals land Ohio State OL Paris Johnson at No. 6 in NFL Draft trade frenzy.

The Arizona Cardinals traded down from third to 12th, then back up to No. 6 to select Ohio State offensive lineman Paris Johnson in the NFL Draft after a trade with the Detroit Lions. The Cardinals now have seven draft picks at their disposal in 2023. Johnson was the preferred selection by quarterback Kyler Murray, who now adds some much-needed protection on the line of scrimmage. He has experience at right guard and left tackle but could slide in an opening at left guard.

"Cardinals' Draft Strategy: OL in 1st Round or Trade-Down?"

Reports and mock drafts suggest that the Arizona Cardinals may consider drafting offensive lineman Paris Johnson with their No. 3 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, despite their defensive needs. While adding youth to the offensive line is important, taking an offensive lineman at No. 3 overall would be a reach, and trading down for extra draft capital may be a wiser choice. Johnson has been linked to the Cardinals, but Northwestern's Peter Skoronski is another option to consider given the team's current makeup and needs at guard and center. Quarterback Kyler Murray reportedly likes Johnson and has expressed his approval to the team.

"Bears select Paris Johnson at No. 9 in Mel Kiper's mock draft"

In his latest mock draft, Mel Kiper predicts that the Chicago Bears will select Ohio State offensive tackle Paris Johnson with the No. 9 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Kiper believes that offensive tackle is the Bears' biggest hole after their moves in free agency and that Johnson would be a stellar lineman to support quarterback Justin Fields. Johnson's arm length of 36 ⅛” has scouts buzzing, and adding him to the offensive line should improve protection for Fields and the entire Bears offense.
