The Arizona Cardinals have 11 picks in the 2024 NFL draft, owning the No. 4 and No. 27 picks in the first round. Arizona has two first-round picks after trading away the No. 3 pick last year to the Texans and receiving the No. 27 pick as part of compensation.
Arizona has six slots in the first 100 picks. The Cardinals are coming off a 4-13 season where quarterback Kyler Murray was sidelined with a right ACL tear for the first nine weeks. A slower free agency period and a plethora of picks suggests Arizona will be busy come draft weekend.
The 2024 NFL draft will take place at Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit from April 25 through April 27. Round 1 will begin April 25 at 8 p.m. ET, while Rounds 2 and 3 are on April 26 starting at 7 p.m. ET. Rounds 4 through 7 begin at noon ET on April 27. The draft will be broadcast on ESPN, ABC, ESPN+ and the ESPN App. There are 257 total picks in the draft.
Here's the full list of the Cardinals' draft picks by round, along with a look at their top roster needs headed into the 2024 season.

Top three needs: WR, CB, EDGE. The Cardinals don't have a WR1 on their roster. Giving Murray that type of dynamic playmaker could be a game-changer for Arizona's offense and help take it to the next level after Murray played only eight games in the new system last season.
Even though Arizona signed cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting during free agency, it still needs another corner who can play immediately or almost immediately. Murphy-Bunting can be a CB1 if needed, but adding another top-tier corner will help ease the strain on the secondary. And with the Cardinals recording just 33 sacks in 2023, their fewest in more than a decade, the need for an edge rusher has never been greater. -- Josh Weinfuss
