. Offensive Lineman. Arizona Cardinals. Alijah Vera-Tucker. 16. player. 32

While the Cardinals’ line appears to be trending up, they still have a few holes to solidify, and the returning starters that they do have aren’t the most inspiring. For Kliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray, solidifying the offensive line could prove vital in improving the offense’s scoring efficiency this year. That’s where Alijah Vera-Tucker comes in.

It’s not the flashy pick, but Vera-Tucker could play at a high level at either guard or tackle. He has enough utility to start right away, but as a sixth offensive lineman, he’d also provide a lot of security. It’s ultimately up to Arizona to decide how they want to use him, but having all those possibilities in their pocket would be valuable.
