Your Arizona Cardinals now hold the 16th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft

[Harry]

Here is my list of options at #16. No particular order here. Some of these guys will very likely be selected before 16. This may be a little high for some of the players, but it is early in the process.

DL
Mason Graham - Michigan
Kenneth Grant - Michigan
Walter Nolen - Ole Miss
Derrick Harmon - Oregon
Omar Norman-Lott - Tennessee
Shemar Stewart - Texas A&M

EDGE
Abdul Carter - Penn St
James Pearce Jr - Tennessee
Jalon Walker - Georgia
Mike Green - Marshall
Mykel Williams - Georgia
Princely Umanmielen - Ole Miss

EDIT: Point of note. I don't rate any of the OL options as better options. They may rank similarly, but the current roster and positional value bumps them. Same with WR and CB. Also, Malaki Starks and Ashton Jeanty could be available when the Cardinals picks and would be better prospects but not an option IMO.

I like your top 3 DTs. I’d put Harmon before Nolen who’s mostly an anchor. I think Umanmielen is the most undevalued Edge; most versatile.

are we concerned about graham/grant and walker/williams benefiting off each other?

I would be with Walker and Williams over Graham and Grant. Just having watched them.

Shemar Stewart @Chopper0080

Looks a lot like a Darius Robinson clone with maybe a bit more burst. I like him as I liked DRob last year. I don't know about having two guys that similar on the same line. Seems like it would make you very light up front. Shemar is a bit frustrating to watch because he really struggles to finish sacks.

Sheduer Sanders
Kyle McCord
Kenneth Grant
Nick Nash
JImmy Horn Jr
Luke Lachey
Nazir Stackhouse

are all on the East/West Shrine game roster. a nice group to watch next week.

Kenneth Grant

Seems weird they didn't get invited or didn't accept invite to Senior Bowl vs East/West

I was surprised as well.

If Kyzir walks

And I’m usually opposed to ILB in the first two rounds


But if Carson Schwesinger is there in the 2nd, which he most likely will be


I would really have to think about it

as much as the team has failed at identifying a stud LB talent I would love one or two

Man, that would be high for an ILB. I don't know the prospect but, if YOU like a high pick ILB, I'm figuring he must be legit. It would be peak Monti to let Kyzir walk, do little to nothing to replace him in FA, and then force our hand in the draft. Of course, with the D, he might just ignore it altogether lol

Interesting that SI lists our biggest needs as Edge, DL, and..... WR? wow...

Sanders going before Hunter makes me lol

Agreed. It feels like Carter and Hunter are the two best players by far and should go #1 and #2.

Hunter is a bit interesting when you consider how he would need to be utilized to justify that investment.
