2025 2nd round pick #47 is Will Johnson CB

[Shane]

Hole EEEEE Chit. This is an incredible 2nd round pick on a no BS 1st rnd talent. What a great pick. Our defense is gonna be absolutely the crucible for opposing teams. Those who know me, know I love defense above all. Give us a decent offense and this is a guaranteed playoff squad. Give me a good offense, and @Shane we will hang out again at the Super Bowl.

Yes, this pick was what the get your junk hard ads promise.

yessss!

He better not wear shorts on the plane.

 

[Russ Smith]

Wilson’s injury was common and projectable as far as ACL’s go. Or you didn’t like the player?

I wanted Achane.
But now I love Garrett

 

[Delmar M Lewis]

In the entire history of the NFL a large percentage of championships are won woth a dominate defense sure offense puts butts in the seats but DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS SO WE ARE CERTAINLY HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HEALTH ALWAYS BEING A FACTOR

Celebrate good times come on. We are getting good times man have good time tonight let’s celebrate it’s alright.

No idea. Everything I read just says he was flagged for a knee issue. If I had to guess, he's got some looseness or bone on bone, maybe. He has no knee injuries in his college timeline, just a shoulder and turf toe.

Which team will take a chance on the oft-injured cornerback?

The rumor is it is degenerative knee - if true it’s a poor prognosis for the long term longevity of his knee health. PHNX used the comparison of gurley who only lasted through his rookie contract.

Something to monitor for sure and we aren’t sure about that diagnosis. The talent is just so high- it’s worth the risk.

 

[Russ Smith]

Too early but I keep whining about how the rams and Seahawks rebuilt the defense in two drafts. We have potentially done something similar. Lots of ifs on DRov, Noel and will buy the potential is sky high

 

[Heucrazy]

Oh no, we missed not getting a stop on 3rd and long for the first time in 3 freaking years, let’s all cry about going defense. Lol this is fantastic

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

I wouldn't have been mad with him at 16 so in my head I am flipping these picks

Nolen will make you happy when you see him blast through & make a big time stop lol.

Frank Gore says hi

Wanna play this game? Cause trust me your list is gonna be way shorter?

I get you wanna be optimistic but pretty much trying to be a smart ass pointing to an exemption to the rule isn’t a good argument

People haven’t been hating on the pick in this thread?

 

[JosiahLee]

Love the first 2 picks. Give me defense again in the 3rd rd.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Nolen will make you happy when you see him blast through & make a big time stop lol.

As my now second rounder I can't wait to see it

 

[Heucrazy]

People haven’t been hating on the pick in this thread?

Yeah ok that’s fair.

 

[Hoodhero]

You know it's polarizing pick when Cardinals make it to front page of ESPN

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

As my now second rounder I can't wait to see it

You will, just wait lol.

Old man yelling at clouds will judge him harshly!

 

[CardsFan88]

Nolen will make you happy when you see him blast through & make a big time stop lol.

You mean Nolen will pressure the QB and force a bad throw that Johnson will pick six

What you said lol

 

[Heucrazy]

I remember the feeling that Bruce Arians defense would get a stop and his offense would get the score to win, every single game. I’m getting back there and I’m super happy.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

I'm super happy with the value, and really love the pick. As it got closer, he's who I wanted. But, I do feel like this team has a bad habit of continually picking the same position, which buries their chance to develop, and means we wasted picks.

I also feel bad for some of our other young corners who are now buried, but there's not a lot of room for hurt feelings in football.

To me it's like QB's in college, you keep recruiting until you find one that sticks. Keep drafting them until we have 5-6 solid ones & 2 legit starters. CB is obviously an important position.

Will Johnson be a good player for us?
