Writer Reese Kunz argues that Arizona Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort should not be entrusted with making the team's future draft selections. Following a finalized trade sending quarterback Jacoby Brissett and a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 seventh-rounder, Kunz highlights that while Arizona continues stockpiling assets, Ossenfort's poor drafting track record keeps the franchise trapped in an endless rebuilding cycle.

Kunz points to past draft misses, including moving on from former early picks Marvin Harrison Jr. and BJ Ojulari, alongside unproven selections like Walter Nolen III and Jeremiyah Love. Although Paris Johnson Jr. proved to be a successful pick, the article contends that someone else should oversee Arizona's roster reconstruction.
