The Arizona Cardinals, barring a trade back into the seventh round, have finished out their 2026 NFL Draft with an offensive lineman out of Ole Miss, Jayden Williams.
Williams is a 6-4 307lbs right tackle with starting experience in the SEC, starting at both left tackle (19 starts) and right tackle this year where he started in all 15 games for the Rebels.
Right tackle prospect with average size and length. Williams plays with a taller pad level than teams will like and displays some tightness in his lower half. He can find leveraged hand strikes when needed, though. He’s more of a catcher than a puncher and will need better physical development/play strength to contain NFL power rushers. Williams is more likely to cover his opponent than he is to move and finish blocks at a high rate as a pro. He’s battled against quality competition and flashes enough upside for consideration late in the draft.
The size is definitely interesting, you rarely see offensive lineman at this size, but he has started 34 games in the SEC at left and right tackle, which we cannot underscore.
