2026 NFL draft: The history of the No. 34 pick
As the Arizona Cardinals have the 34th overall pick in the draft, a look at the last 10 players selected 34th overall.
The Arizona Cardinals have seven selections in the 2026 NFL draft currently, one in each round. Their selection in the second round is No. 34 overall.
Hopefully, whoever they select can make a meaningful contribution. Who have been the last few players selected at No. 34 overall?
Let's have a look. 2025: WR Jayden Higgins, Houston Texans 2024: WR Ladd McConkey, Los Angeles Chargers 2023: TE Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions 2022: WR Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers 2021: WR Elijah Moore, New York Jets 2020: WR Michael Pittman Jr. , Indianapolis Colts 2019: CB Rock Ya-Sin, Indianapolis Colts 2018: OL Will Hernandez, New York Giants 2017: OL Cam Robinson, Jacksonville Jaguars 2016: LB Jaylon Smith, Dallas Cowboys Many have been great players or simply starters.
Smith didn't work out because he was drafted after suffering a serious injury. Moore was perhaps the most disappointing pick of the group, and even he has had an all right career. The Cardinals should be able to get a decent player in the second round in this draft.
