Arizona Cardinals CANNOT Draft RB Jeremiyah Love at #3 Overall

In this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy dives deep into the Arizona Cardinals' post-Combine speculation, unraveling the buzz around the team's upcoming draft strategy, free agency rumors, and looming quarterback questions. Alex Clancy kicks off by challenging the growing narrative that the Cardinals should draft Jeremiah Love with their high pick, calling out the "amnesia" among fans and media who ignore last year's glaring roster issues—especially the depleted offensive line. Rather than chasing the excitement (or "lust") of drafting a flashy running back, Alex Clancy advocates for the more practical, foundation-building move of selecting an offensive tackle, arguing that the right side of the O-line is a “ghost town” and crucial for any long-term success. He breaks down the top tackle prospects—Francis Mauigoa and Spencer Fano—highlighting their strengths, measurables, and potential fit for the Cardinals' needs. As the episode unfolds, Alex Clancy addresses the swirling free agency rumors about Jimmy Garoppolo potentially joining Arizona, expressing concerns about repeating past quarterback carousel mistakes that have plagued the franchise. He warns that if Jimmy G is starting games in 2026, something has gone terribly wrong, and emphasizes the importance of not letting desperation or nostalgia dictate team decisions.
