Arizona Cardinals draft picks 2021: Round-by-round selections

Here is a 2021 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the Arizona Cardinals:

Round 1 (No. 16 overall) - Zaven Collins, LB, Tulsa: He's massive at 6-5 and 259 pounds, but don't mistake him for an edge rusher. Collins, valedictorian of his high school class, is a heady off-ball linebacker who will team at the second level with last year's first-rounder, versatile Isaiah Simmons. Draft tracker

Round 2 (49) - Rondale Moore, WR, Purdue: Moore blazed an unofficial 4.29 40 at his pro day while posting 42½-inch vertical jump. He posted 114 catches and 14 TDs as a freshman in 2018 ... but injuries have kept him off the field quite a bit since. Small (5-7, 181) but very strong, he could be a dangerous weapon – also able to produce on jet sweeps or pitches – between veteran WRs DeAndre Hopkins and A.J. Green. Draft tracker

Round 4 (136, from Chiefs through Ravens) - Marco Wilson, CB, Florida

Round 6 (210, from Ravens) - Victor Dimukeje, DE, Duke

Round 6 (223, from Vikings; compensatory selection) - Tay Gowan, CB, Central Florida

Round 7 (243) - James Wiggins, S, Cincinnati

Round 7 (247, from Bears through Raiders) - Michal Menet, C, Penn State
