Arizona's nine-position upgrade showcases a Murray-led offense and a defense anchored by Budda Baker and three-safety looks. Trey McBride anchors a top TE group with heavy target share, while James Conner remains the reliable grinder with Tre Benson ready to spell him. The interior line improves with Calais Campbell and Dalvin Tomlinson, and Paris Johnson Jr. could become a true star at left tackle, bolstering Murray's downfield chances.

The receiving corps hinges on Marvin Harrison Jr. stepping up as a rookie alongside Michael Wilson, with Greg Dortch, Zay Jones, and Xavier Weaver providing veteran/versatile options. Murray's consistency and the defense's flexible scheming will determine playoff upside; the Cardinals look playoff-contending if the offense hits stride and the defense sustains its three-safety approach.
