2025 5th round pick is Denzel Burke CB

[Shane]

Cornerback is the new middle linebacker for the Cardinals

 

[Zeno]

This staff sures likes their DB's.

4 last year, 3 in 2023 and 2 this year.

At this point I was hoping for a WR that could play ST too but whatever, hope the guy works out.

 

[CardNots]

Wild conjecture - maybe he moves to safety at some point.

or one of our other corners?

 

[Outerlimits]

Nick Rallis must be loving this off-season.

Petzing probably not so much.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Hahhahahahhaa the hater drums gonna sound off on this one for sure

Anyone that melts down on a 5th round pick needs to have their priorities evaluated.

 

[Proximo]

Seems like good value, I guess the idea is just to accumulate as many good players as you can get and worry later about how to get them all on the field.

How about fitting them all on the roster? This is just a mistake we have no room for another cb.

 

[BritCard]

Like others I wonder if they see him as a safety. All the draft analysis says he likes to play off with his eyes on the QB and attack downhill. Possible free safety?

Apparently, we do

At this point I’m going to get mad if they take an offensive player. Might as well go all in.

 

[Syracusecards]

He was designated as a wide receiver during the recruiting process before he went to Ohio State

We have Rabbit as a young free safety though.

Either they really dont like Clark and Jones, or they are moving him to safety and getting rid of Hall.

 

[Totally_Red]

Im cool with this pick...was considering him as a possible pick in the third or fourth round..so getting him here is good value. Of course, I wasnt expecting us to grab that corner early. Taking two is a real surprise. The competition in our secondary is going to be fierce, which is only a win for the team.
we are going to have to try and hide some decent defensive talent on the PS this year. I predict it gets raided a couple times.

Our CBs were so bad last year that I won't be sad to see a couple depart.

Our corners didn't have the benefit of a good pass rush though.

 

[Harry]

How many CBs do we need?

?????

need special teams players, gunners. He could play CB in a zone if desperate.

He excels in zone

So maybe a good fit

But without a position move the CB room is really crowded

Burke is way more athletic. Competition is good.

 

[Harry]

We do run a zone so maybe a fit

could play there if desperate. Looked good in zone but offense could change with audible.

 

[unseenaz]

pour one out for my dude kei'trel clark

 

[Harry]

He have

to add power.

Monti's theme for the 2025 draft: If the other team can't score, we're gonna win a lot of games.

Are they all off-ball cornerbacks? lol

 

[Syracusecards]

Nick Rallis is going to run a 1-1-9 scheme at times this year

Jaden Davis and Elijah Jones are still on the team.

 

[BritCard]

Yes, but Jalen might be gone next year. Blount is just a ST's guy too and could be displaced by Burke. There's less competition at safety than CB!

 

[BritCard]

Jaden Davis and Elijah Jones are still on the team.

Davis was PS last year though right? And Jones was IR. Neither was on the 53.

Johnson already kicked Kei'Trel off the roster. Who is Burke displacing? Elijah Jones is the next and has never played a snap as a 3rd round pick.
