Arizona Cardinals are on the precipice of participating in potentially the most important draft in the history of the organization. Why such a grandiose statement? The Cardinals may have never been in the position they're in now: 11 picks in 2024 NFL Draft, full picks in 2025, and top 5 salary cap space in 2025. The hard reset on the organization is complete. Now, they've got to execute. Whether it's Marvin Harrison Jr or a trade back, Monti Ossenfort must get it right. So, what are the expectations for the Arizona Cardinals? Could we see any draft day surprises like a trade back including a star player like Patrick Surtain II or Justin Jefferson? Plus, it's the final Mock Draft Monday of 2024. Let's discuss.

Arizona Cardinals fell to 1-4 after a messy loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The schedule doesn't get any easier as they travel to Los Angeles to play the 2-3 Rams with a healthy Cooper Kupp. Matthew Stafford now has two bonafide stud wide receivers in Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. With the secondary of the Arizona Cardinals coming off a not so great performance against Ja'Marr Chase and the Bengals, this matchup with the Rams couldn't have come at a worse time. Can Marco Wilson and Kei'Trel Clark keep Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua from having career days? Travis Rodgers of Locked On Rams joins the show. Let's discuss.

Arizona Cardinals face a franchise crossroads as Kyler Murray remains sidelined—has the soft benching turned into a quiet parting of ways? Benjamin Garcia, Jamil Douglas, and Alex Clancy tackle the drama surrounding Murray’s lingering IR status, questioning whether the front office is shelving him to preserve trade value as the Murray era winds down. The hosts weigh the merits of letting Jacoby Brissett take the reins and dissect clues from team decisions, injuries, and coaching comments that hint at the Cardinals’ endgame.

The podcast examines Drew Petzing’s playcalling under fire after Todd Bowles’ Buccaneers defense snuffed out key drives, sparking debate over predictability, player execution, and the offense’s fit with backup quarterbacks. As the Arizona Cardinals brace for another NFC West showdown against the Los Angeles Rams, the squad unpacks roster woes, upcoming draft implications, and whether the current regime can close the gap with division rivals—or if more growing pains lie ahead in the desert.
