3. Joe Alt - Notre Dame Fighting Irish
The Cardinals could shock everyone and avoid the wide receiver position altogether. If they did, the door opens for a variety of possibilities. Arizona could use a starting tackle and they’d have their pick of the two best: Joe Alt and Olu Fashanu. Former Notre Dame Fighting Irish mauler Alt is the perfect left tackle specimen. He is 6’9,” weighs an athletic 321 pounds, and tested incredibly at the NFL Combine. Alt has terrific footwork, sustained blocks well in college, and used his length well to hold off opposing pass-rushers. He would start immediately at left tackle and the Cardinals could grab a wide receiver with one of their other early picks.
