Cardinals selected DL Jayden Williams with the No. 217 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

25 April 2026

Williams, per NFL.com’s Chad Reuter, “plays with a taller pad level than teams will like and displays some tightness in his lower half. He can find leveraged hand strikes when needed, though. He’s more of a catcher than a puncher and will need better physical development/play strength to contain NFL power rushers.” Williams, who played five seasons of collegiate football, will join an Arizona offensive line graded by Pro Football Focus as last year’s fourth worst run blocking unit.
