NFL mock drafts are being churned out on the daily. With the Cardinals needing plenty of upgrades, there's no shortage of options at No. 3 overall.

McBride was almost a unanimous All-Pro, joining Seattle Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua. McBride received 49 first-place votes and one second-place vote. One voter put San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle in first place.

The most uncomfortable truth in the desert is also the simplest, and the Arizona Cardinals are realizing that even with a top-tier quarterback, coach, or playbook, they will not be able to survive a broken offensive line.
