Arizona Cardinals select Oklahoma Sooners guard Marquis Hayes with final pick of 2022 NFL Draft

The Arizona Cardinals final pick of the night is an intriguing one.

The Cardinals took Oklahoma guard Marquis Hayes with the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Oklahoma, Hayes was a mainstay at left guard in former head coach Lincoln Riley’s balanced scheme. With only two years of varsity experience in high school, he showed steady improvement each season in Norman and produced his best tape in 2021 as arguably the best offensive lineman in the Big 12. While some blockers rely on power and others rely on angles, Hayes relies on both and I was impressed by his ability to make split-second adjustments.
