2025 NLF Mock Draft: Options for the Arizona Cardinals with the 16th pick

Working through some options for the Arizona Cardinals at the 16th pick.

Happy Friday one and all.

That leaves five picks before the Arizona Cardinals pick, so we will use a combination of research and the consensus picks to get us to the Cardinals pick.

If my hunch that Justin Frye has been pounding the table for his highly versatile guard/tackle All-Star, Donovan Jackson, then much of the focus on Monti’s mocks is going to be how they can maneuver the pick.

I believe that Brock Huard is right on the...
