Back to the offensive line for the Arizona Cardinals in the third round of this mock draft. Offensive tackle is an obvious need for this team, but they also need some help on the interior. Ben Bredeson has been a three-year starter at left guard for Michigan and would undoubtedly be a welcomed addition to the Arizona offensive line.

Bredeson is a mean and nasty offensive lineman who moves pretty well in space. He is a strong zone scheme blocker, showing the ability to handle first-level defenders and reaching the second-level with ease.

Once engaged, Bredeson lets his mean streak out. He is an extremely physical blocker who is always looking to embarrass the defender. His hand usage is solid, but it is his ability to finish blocks with power that really stands out.

He is also an extremely dependable pass protector who shows good overall technique. Bredeson moves his feet well, showcases a powerful punch and can anchor at a high level. He also does a nice job of always looking for work when protecting the quarterback.

In Bredeson, the Arizona Cardinals find a dependable offensive lineman who could come in and compete for a starting job right away. Adding both him and Adams in this mock draft significantly improves their talent up front.
