Cardinals need Josh Jones to develop into a starting offensive tackle they drafted him to become

Offensive line seems to be a position group that the Arizona Cardinals are comfortable with for now but with uncertainty looming for the 2023 season.

Starting offensive tackles D.J. Humphries and Kelvin Beachum have a combined 63 regular season starts over the last two seasons and are heading into the final year of their contracts.

Not only that but the Cardinals’ list of 2023 free agents is a lengthy and talented one that includes Byron Murphy, Jalen Thompson, J.J. Watt, Zach Allen, Markus Golden, Maxx Williams, Justin Pugh, and Will Hernandez.

Unfortunately for Arizona, they won’t be able to re-sign every one of their top free agents which is why the development of Josh Jones as an offensive tackle is imperative in reducing one of the Cardinals’ multitude of needs a year from now.
