Arizona Cardinals enter year three with 2024 draft class under scrutiny

The Arizona Cardinals enter the 2026 season with significant questions surrounding the development of their 2024 draft class. General manager Monti Ossenfort and head coach Jonathan Gannon selected 12 players two years ago, but those athletes now face a critical third season as they reach potential contract decision points. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is tasked with securing a larger role in the offense alongside teammates Trey McBride and Michael Wilson following an injury-shortened 2025 campaign. Defensive end Darius Robinson also seeks a return to form after struggling with injuries and production across his first two professional seasons. The team begins its current schedule Sunday against the Chargers in Los Angeles. These performances will influence long-term organizational planning as the Cardinals evaluate future roster stability and contract extensions.
