Happy Wednesday afternoon one and all.

The Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the NFL are heading towards the 2025 NFL Draft and in doing that we are building our own big board for the Cardinals.

Yesterday we looked at the Consensus Big Board and their top two prospects that could be available for the Arizona Cardinals.

Starting with Will Johnson and Jalon Walker, then of course today we looked at Shemar Stewart.

Now, we look at the next offensive lineman on the board, Kelvin...

Jalon Walker could be the answer to all the Arizona Cardinals needs on defense

The Georgia defensive player could be the best fit for the Arizona Cardinals in the 2025 NFL Draft.

We looked at Will Johnson earlier today, this afternoon let’s take a look at another prospect to help us start making the Arizona Cardinals first round big board.

The first 15 or so will be the “first round” guys, then we will look at some select prospects quickly, maybe even in groups to get through a look at players, build a big board and know who these guys are who the Arizona Cardinals could potentially pick.

So to start, we will use...

Folow the blue dots on the Cardinals’ path to pick #16

Yesterday, I presented a “follow the T30 Visit” path to what the Cardinals’ 1st round plan is apt to look like. The cheat sheet with the ROTB Poll results (258 members voting) is:

Arizona Cardinals beef up interior defensive line in new 2025 NFL Mock Draft

Arizona Cardinals add some size to the defensive line.

The Arizona Cardinals have done a great job of adding pieces over the last couple of weeks to improve what was an injured and underwhelming defensive front.

They added Josh Sweat and Dalvin Tomlinson to help beef things up, and now in Pete Prisco’s first mock draft of the 2025 season, he has the Arizona Cardinals continuing that trend.

From Prisco:

16. Arizona Cardinals - Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

The Cardinals added to their defense in free agency by getting guys like Josh Sweat, but now they can...
