For the first time since moving to Arizona, the Cardinals will have the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft.

The Cardinals (3-13) finished with the worst record in the NFL following Sunday’s 27-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Arizona’s previous highest draft pick was No. 2 in 2001, when it selected offensive lineman Leonard Davis.

Arizona has had the No. 3 pick four times, including drafting Larry Fitzgerald No. 3 overall in the 2003 NFL Draft.

The Cardinals’ organization had the No. 1 draft pick four times, but not since 1958 when it was in Chicago.

Several early mock drafts have the Cardinals selecting Ohio State defensive lineman Nick Bosa with the top pick.

The first round of the NFL Draft is April 25.
