The Arizona Cardinals have had tremendous success picking in the third round in the past few years, but their latest selection in the round was pushed back from 77 to No. 98 overall.

Another move: Cards trade out of 77th spot in Rd 3. Send that pick to CAR in exchange for Panthers 3rd Rd/#98 & 4th Rd/#115

The trade helps Arizona catch up on some of the picks they gave up in order to move up in the second round and select Washington safety Budda Baker. In that trade, the Cardinals gave up their own second-round selection, a fourth and a sixth-round pick as well as a fourth-round pick in 2018 to select Baker at No. 36 overall.

On Thursday, the team selected linebacker Haason Reddick with the 13th overall pick.
