Donovan Ezeiruaku is the unheralded edge rusher who could be a great fit for the Arizona Cardinals

The pass rusher could be a great fit for the Arizona Cardinals.

We are through with the first part of our 2025 NFL Draft Big Board for the Arizona Cardinals.

We will start to build out from the consensus big board next week as we introduce more prospects ahead of the draft.

Hopefully capturing a ton of different prospects that could be in play for the Arizona Cardinals in the 2025 NFL Draft.

However, to close things out another one of my favorites, Donovan Ezeiruaku an edge rusher from Boston College will be how we end this portion of things....

Derrick Harmon could be a staple along the defensive line for the Arizona Cardinals

Derrick Harmon could be a staple along the defensive line for the Arizona Cardinals

The Oregon defensive lineman offers dominance and versatility along the defensive line.

We are finishing things up in our first round board, and will start next week to begin getting into the day two and maybe even the day three prospects that could fit what the Arizona Cardinals are looking for.

With our second of three prospect profiles today, we take a look at Oregon Ducks defensive tackle Derrick Harmon, the big man who helped make the Ducks one of the best defenses in the country in 2024.

From PFF:

Harmon wins with quickness — a quick first step,...

Walter Nolen could be a dominant presence on the interior defensive line for the Arizona Cardinals

The Ole Miss defensive tackle could be an intriguing interior prospect for the Arizona Cardinals.

Happy Friday one and all.

The Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the NFL are now under three weeks away from the 2025 NFL Draft.

We are going to finish up our top 20 today, barring something at my real job getting in the way, stupid real jobs.

Let’s kick today off with a really intriguing interior defensive line prospect who took a while to hit his stride, but when he did, he was an absolute monster.

Walter Nolen is a 6-4 296lbs defensive tackle...

Can Cardinals improve their ILB positions like the Eagles did in 2024?

Can Cardinals improve their ILB positions like the Eagles did in 2024?

Imagine if the Cardinals can hit a Zack Baun-like jackpot

These days the Philadelphia Eagles must be feeling giddy about the emergence of Zack Baun as a 1st Team NFL All-Pro inside linebacker. Drafted with the 74th pick in the 3rd round by the New Orleans Saints, Zack Baun was supposed to be a Kyle Van Noy (Lance Zierlien’s player comp) type of edge dynamo, coming off his final All-American, 1st team All-Big 10 season at Wisconsin.

Alas, for Baun and the Saints, things did not go as planned during his largely underwhelming four years in New Orleans. He only...

Jihaad Campbell has the make-up to be a star, but where does he fit best for the Arizona Cardinals

Jihaad Campbell has the make-up to be a star, but where does he fit best for the Arizona Cardinals

The Alabama linebacker is an intriguing fit with the Arizona Cardinals.

It is Bama boys day as we continue to load up the big board for the Arizona Cardinals.

We looked at the big offensive lineman from Alabama earlier today, and now we take a look at the one of the most intriguing linebackers in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Jihaad Campbell came in at 6-3 and 235lbs, with a great wingspan and tested like a freak athlete for the linebacker position.

The question becomes, what does Campbell do for the Arizona Cardinals immediately?

Some thoughts from Lance Zierlein:

Tyler Booker is a force along the offensive line that could help the Arizona Cardinals

The Alabama product has shown to be a force in the run game.

We saw the big man on defense getting added to our big board today.

Now, it’s the big man on offense.

The Arizona Cardinals need help along the offensive line still, unless they truly believe in Isaiah Adams and Christian Jones.

So, we can continue to add names and see how they fit if they’re drafted.

We have looked at the offensive tackle positions already, but what about guard?

Alabama’s Tyler Booker is 6-5 and 321lbs of massive people mover.

The question is, is he athletic enough...

Do the Arizona Cardinals double down on the man in the middle of their new defense?

Happy Thursday one and all.

The Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the NFL are now only three weeks from the 2025 NFL Draft.

We now have a fun conundrum.

The Cardinals have added Dalvin Tomlinson and Calais Campbell on their defensive line, after adding Justin Jones and Bilal Nichols last year.

They have a depth chart along the from that looks like this:

Calais Campbell — Justin Jones — LJ Collier
Dalvin Tomlinson — Bilal Nichols
Darius Robinson — Dante Stills

How excited would you be with this draft?

The 2025 NFL Draft commences from Lambeau Field, Wisconsin, three weeks from today, baby!

Which in this week’s Thursday mock, still beaming about the Cardinals’ acquisition of DE Calias Campbell, I am now feeling a tenacious hunger to slurp up a double dose of Campbells this week.

Now, I would still be elated to see the Cardinals select Michigan’s Kenneth Walker, my favorite nose tackle and defensive tone setter in this draft, I am struggling with what the Cardinals’ plans are at inside linebacker.

Happy Wednesday evening one and all.

We are more than halfway through the prospects that could be first round options for the Arizona Cardinals and today is a personal favorite of mine.

Josh Simmons is a big, athletic tackle, who has had great success at both right tackle and left tackle in the Big 10 and was part of a dominant offense in back-to-back seasons at The Ohio State, before a knee injury (patella?) ended his final season.

Now, he is the player that I look...
