The Cardinals announced Thursday that they have signed four of their draftees to contracts. These include fifth-round linebacker Xavier Thomas, fifth-round offensive tackle Christian Jones, sixth-round receiver Tejhaun Palmer, and seventh-round cornerback Jaden Davis. With these signings, there are now eight draftees left unsigned.
Xavier Thomas, the No. 3 prospect in the 2018 class, had an impressive freshman year at Clemson where he finished as an All-American. In 2023, he recorded 25 tackles, four tackles for loss, and three sacks. Christian Jones, a versatile swing tackle, was the second offensive lineman drafted by the Cardinals.
Tejhaun Palmer, the second wide receiver drafted, is now part of a revamped receiving group which includes Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch, and veteran Chris Moore. Jaden Davis, a cornerback who has experience playing outside, in the slot, and at safety, had a productive season with 42 tackles, four pass deflections, and two forced fumbles.
