Arizona Cardinals NFL Draft Profile: NT Dexter Lawrence

One of the Arizona Cardinals draft needs is the nose tackle. Although Corey Peters currently holds the position down, he’s 30 years old and has a contract that runs up in 2020. And with Vance Joseph switching the defense back to the 3-4, he will need a player to anchor the defense and eat up blockers to free up his linebackers in the future.

Cue Dexter Lawrence, a natural nose tackle due to his run-stopping acumen.

At 6-4, 342-pounds, Lawrence is a mountain of a man and it shows on the tape. He’s known as a ball-carrier eater as he’s one of the best tacklers in the draft.
