Haason Reddick

Reddick's exact nature remains unclear after two mixed seasons in Arizona, but the former 13th overall pick has various promising indicators in his profile despite the uneven trajectory to this point. He fell out of favor with coach Steve Wilks last year, but given those results there's no reason to take his judgment as gospel. What we do know about Reddick is he's hyper-athletic and a standout pass rusher, if nothing else, and those traits should play just fine in Vance Joseph's 3-4 alignment. With 6.5 sacks on his first 1,230 NFL snaps, Reddick offers IDP upside at a minimal cost on a defense that could lead the NFL in snap count as the Air Raid offense runs up the tempo on the other side.

Among the potential breakout IDP candidates at linebacker this year, Reddick ranks high on the list. The 2017 first-round pick out of Temple is highly athletic and has a varied skill set, posing an uncommon blitzing threat on the edge with the ability to otherwise handle more traditional off-ball tasks at a high level. With just 36 tackles on 445 snaps last year, Reddick is likely to be overlooked in plenty of drafts, but the talent is there and he should thrive in new coach Steve Wilks' Ron Rivera-style defense.

Selected 13th overall by the Cardinals in April, Reddick will be seeking to buck the trend of recent first-rounders in the Arizona desert. Notably, the team's last two picks (OT D.J. Humphries and DT Robert Nkemdiche) combined for five appearances as rookies. At first glance, Reddick could be in line for a similar fate, as he'll kick of the season as a reserve to starting inside linebackers Karlos Dansby and Deone Bucannon. Helping Reddick's case for snaps is his ability as a pass rusher. During his last year at Temple, he provided 10.5 sacks and 22.5 tackles for loss, which will complement sack artists Chandler Jones and Markus Golden nicely in nickel formations. No matter the roles he's handed, Reddick will certainly be groomed as a future centerpiece of the Cardinals' front seven.
