Yer old as dirt Garth... I was 2, barely even chewing tobacco at the time of that draft
Your Arizona Cardinals now hold the 16th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft
- Thread starter DVontel
- Start date
Would have been a good scheme fit if they had not drafted Darius Robinson, signed Calais Campbell and re-signed Collier. Now, not so much. Plus, a super-talented DT with maturity-issues from Ole Miss? I still have PTSD after Nkemdiche.
You shouldnt not draft that guy because you signed Calais(40 yo) or Collier(replaceable)
I don't know man. If teams think a guy is a 12 sack a year or more guy he's likely to go top 8. There's a lot of "maybe" guys in this draft.
Convenient to leave out Darius Robinson from my argument, plus consider that they have Dante Stills on the roster. Everyone is replaceable, by the way.
Not convenient just true Darius Robinson isn’t going anywhere, but he’s also not holding the line over the next four or five seasons by himself need more talent….. the other two are old and much more replaceable than DR. But hey you do you.
I am a fan. I don't need to think about how the roster looks in five seasons. I want to win next season.
Anyway, there is certainly something to be said about drafting to have strength on strength. I personally think Cardinals are not good enough to do that, and I doubt that they will draft a guy to be third-stringer (potentially second, if he beats out Stills).

I LOVE Higgins. Steps up everytime he's called upon.

I don't disagree and why I said might. Then gave out Mel's mock. It was partly a tongue and cheek comment.

Both those guys have questions which is what would keep them out of the top 10. I agree with the basic sentiments that if those questions turn out to be nothing, then they probably are looked back on as being underrated. Micah Parsons was similar. The hazing stuff, size questions, and his lack of sack production look silly now, but they were why he didn't go top 10.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Should I toss in a "Bless your heart?"
Seems to me that was the draft were the fans mercilessly booed the Jets. It was hilarious.

If Pearce is available at #16 he slid for character. These are the types of players the Cards pass on. Then they go on to dbl digit sacks and pro bowls.
Tony Pauline has updated his mock. He is one of the best

Now that the majority of big-name free agents have been signed, and teams have re-signed many of their own veterans, it’s time to update the mock draft.

In looking at trade options the Cards could potentially swap with New Orleans if NO wants Sanders and the Cards want Campbell or Johnson or a specific Edge. The Cards would give up their second but in addition to NO’s first they’d get back NO’s third round pick, #93.

I'm ok with a great guard if Booker is a safe pick. Everyone seems to indicate he starts day 1 and plays solid for years..I'm good with that pick as long as there isn't a better pass rusher there. Like a dbl digit edge guy.Tony Pauline has updated his mock. He is one of the best

Regarding volatility in the actual draft vs pre draft rankings:
www.sharpfootballanalysis.com
check it out as it represents some VERY different rankings from others.
as an example: Josh Simmons and Donovan Jackson at #16 and #17 ranked higher than Armand Membou at #19.
Mike Green at #44. Etc.
And Sharp's guy who did this is #8 overall in accuracy over the last 5 years (lucky or good? tough to say)
I dont think this is the draft to get emotionally attached to where your favorite prospect is ranked going into it

Harry, Tony Pauline has Booker going #16 and Banks #17. Who would you prefer for the Cardinals?
Like every year, I want us to trade down. If we can’t get Mike Green,or Simmons, Or Grant. I say trade down.
Those are the three that I want. If we draft a WR at 16 I’ll lose my hit.

A solid 3 round mock! Getting the Mullet on the 3rd would be an absolute steal! I'd very happy with this!

Booker. Banks can only play LT. Leave well enough alone.
Reasonable consideration. Odd draft. Lots of comparable players.
