Cardinals eye draft position for rebuilding drive
Cardinals publicist Joe Pollack says the team will “drive for draft position” after a 49-6 loss in New York, aiming to recast the lineup through the draft, trades, and possible coaching changes. Pollack notes limited top picks but cites two extra choices on the second and third rounds as a chance to overhaul.
