The 2025 NFL draft is days away, beginning next Thursday night. Teams are finalizing their draft boards, including the Arizona Cardinals.
As we approach the actual draft, Draft Wire managing editor Jeff Risdon has put together his final player rankings, ranking players 1-250.
This series of stories will break down each position group and list each player on the list, showing where they rank.
Here are the edge defenders. This is perhaps the most likely position they select in Round 1.
Only Carter is a lock to be off the board when the Cardinals make their selection at No. 16 overall. The EDGE prospects are arguably the most intriguing for the Cardinals because Walker, Williams, Stewart, Pearce and Scourton could viably be the choice at No. 16.
And if they don't go with an edge guy in Round 1, Oladejo, Omanmielen and Tuimiloau are all real possibilities in the second round.
If they wait longer, it could be anyone.

Possibilities for the Cardinals
Only Carter is a lock to be off the board when the Cardinals make their selection at No. 16 overall. The EDGE prospects are arguably the most intriguing for the Cardinals because Walker, Williams, Stewart, Pearce and Scourton could viably be the choice at No. 16.
And if they don't go with an edge guy in Round 1, Oladejo, Omanmielen and Tuimiloau are all real possibilities in the second round.
