TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have selected offensive tackle Bobby Massie of Mississippi in the fourth round of the NFL draft.

The 6-foot-6, 320-pound lineman slipped farther in the draft than a lot of people had predicted, going to the Cardinals as the 112th player chosen overall.

Offensive line was the Cardinals’ biggest area of need entering the draft, but Arizona went elsewhere with its first two picks, selecting wide receiver Michael Floyd of Notre Dame in the first round and cornerback Jamell Fleming of Oklahoma.

The Cardinals did not have a second round pick.
