In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals selected offensive tackle Christian Jones, measuring 6-5 and weighing 305 lbs, with the 162nd overall pick in the fifth round. Jones, a former Texas Longhorn, allowed only one sack in 511 pass block snaps during the 2023 season. Rated as the 55th best prospect overall by NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah, and ranked as OT14, his selection has been viewed as a significant value pick for the Cardinals.

Christian Jones is my OT14. Solid arm length, good hand usage. Knows how to shift his weight to stop pass rushers. Can seal the edge for the run. Lacks upside. Won't pancake you. Footwork get sloppy at times. Struggles with interior moves. #Cardinals #HallamAnalysis
