Seventh-rounders Christian Matthew and Jesse Luketa also changed things up from their time in college, going with Nos. 35 and 43, respectively.
And with No. 54 off the board, seventh-round lineman Marquis Hayes opted for No. 78.
The news of the rookies’ jersey numbers comes after the team announced wide receiver Marquise Brown would sport No. 2 in his first year in the desert.
The Cardinals added Brown during Day 1 of the draft after trading the 23rd overall pick in exchange for the wideout and the 100th overall pick, which was used on Thomas.
The jersey changes won’t stop there, either.
With McBride taking No. 85, wide receiver Antoine Wesley is now in the market for some new digits.
The same can be said for tight end David Wells, who was No. 41 last season.
