Arizona Cardinals. Creed Humphrey. 11. player. 32. . Offensive Lineman

Things are looking up for the Arizona Cardinals, who turned the page to a new era in 2019 with the hiring of Kliff Kingsbury and the acquisition of dynamic quarterback Kyler Murray. With Kingsbury and Murray at the core of the team’s new direction, the Cardinals have been surprisingly competitive this year.

Still, there are ways that the Cardinals can improve the efficiency of their offense, and allow themselves to be more versatile. Strengthening the offensive line is still a must; the Cardinals largely ignored this area in the 2019 NFL Draft, and in 2020, they need to place a greater emphasis on it, both at tackle and on the interior.

Because the Cardinals could have solid starter Marcus Gilbert returning from injury at right tackle in 2020, I decided to give the Cardinals an interior blocker with this pick. Creed Humphrey projects well as an offensive guard in the NFL, possessing the power at the point of attack and the explosion off the line to be effective in both the passing game and the running game.
