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.
