The Rise Up, See Red podcast Jess Root

In their second post-draft show, Jess and Seth discuss the Cardinals' three rookie free agent signings, Marvin Harrison's lack of an NFLPA licensing deal, Zaven Collins and his declined fifth-year option and then project the roles each of the 12 draft picks have in 2024. 

Jess and Seth talk about the 2024 NFL draft and the players the Arizona Cardinals selected. They react to the first round in general and then go pick by pick for all 12 of the players the Cardinals selected. 

For the 10th consecutive draft, Jess and Seth make predictions for what they think will happen in the first round of the NFL draft. 

Jess and Seth break down the three biggest positional needs the Cardinals have on defense for the draft — the defensive line, defensive edge and cornerback. They look at who is first-round worthy and then who to look for on Days 2 and 3 of the draft. 

In what should be the final two four podcast preview shows for the 2024 NFL draft and the Arizona Cardinals, Jess and Seth talk about two of the weaker positions in the draft class and two positions that appear to be lower priorities for the Cardinals — linebacker and safety. 

Learn more about players to know for the Cardinals over all three days of the draft. 

Jess has special guest Austin McNamara, a punter from Texas Tech who went to high school in  Gilbert, Arizona, to talk about his time in Lubbock, preparing for the NFL draft and giving us a glimpse of what the Cardinals' local pro day was like.
