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

Jeremiah always has interesting mocks LOL:

Grant at pick 30. Is this board overvaluing this guy?

If he is to fall to 30 then a trade back works well for the Cardinals.

Not our highest priority but what if a ball hawk like Xavier Watts is there with our 2nd round pick?

I understand the thinking but the current group fails to spread the field. That makes it harder to get open on short and medium throws. Too often defenders are able to leave their assignment to support defenders in the area Cards are attacking. Not only does that prevent catches, but it suppresses YAC. The Cards don’t need an awesome deep threat, but they need a competent one.

I think I failed to clarify my stance.

The Cardinals need a specific type of WR, a vertical WR that brings speed and stretches the field. If that WR can also block, they could potentially bump Wilson down the depth chart. If not, probably a 11 personnel only option.

My point is that just any WR is not the answer for the Cardinals.

And he says his mocks reflect what he is hearing, not based upon his own rankings. Take that for what it is worth, but it could be that he is hearing the Cardinals are interested in OL.

I have no idea at all where the Cards are going with this pick. 16 is a weird place. Not typically high enough to typically pick up your top 5 player on your draft board but not so far down you can't hope a player you love falls to you.

It seems every year it gets tougher to evaluate players beyond pick 10. That is where consensus dies. This is one of several polarizing people. The other factor is your looking at mocks and team needs distort those. IMO this is the selection that would impact the Cards the most.

I'm listening to DJs podcast (most insider/ "tangible rumors") and Check the Mic (most down into detail and metrics) for my insider.

Both podcast have mentioned this and says this draft is by far the hardest to predict ever, because the 2nd tier is so big without much separation in terms of talent level.

Matthew Golden is probably the 1 WR the Cardinals would consider in the first two rounds. He fits the need even if I like other players better and doubt Monti goes WR back to back years.
