Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cardinals fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Happy Wednesday one and all.
The Arizona Cardinals are just 15 days away from making their first round pick, wherever in the 2026 NFL Draft that may be.
So, the question becomes, who do you want to be the pick?
We narrowed it down slightly, to the consensus players who could be available at the third pick and who have been the most discussed players for the Cardinals at the third overall pick.
I know, no Sonny Styles (who I love), or Ty Simpson (who I don’t), but five players to choose from knowing at least four of them will be available, unless something insane happens and Fernando Mendoza ends up available.
So, who is your stick and pick with the three for the Arizona Cardinals?
