On Thursday, the Cardinals announced that they have signed four of their draftees to contracts. Xavier Thomas, offensive tackle Christian Jones, receiver Tejhaun Palmer, and cornerback Jaden Davis are all now officially under contract.
The team’s top pick, Xavier Thomas, was highly regarded as a linebacker in the 2018 class and was ranked as the No. 3 prospect in his year. He finished his freshman year at Clemson as an All-American and had an impressive 2023 season with 25 tackles, four tackles for loss, and three sacks.
Christian Jones was the team’s second offensive lineman drafted this year, joining a revamped receiving room that includes Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch, and veteran Chris Moore. Tejhaun Palmer was also drafted as a wide receiver and will bring some versatility to the position.
Jaden Davis has shown versatility on defense playing outside, in the slot, and at safety last season he accounted for 42 tackles, four pass deflections and two forced fumbles. There are still eight draftees remaining unsigned as they continue negotiations with them.
