It is an interesting offseason for the Arizona Cardinals. Head coach Jonathan Gannon enters a crucial third season in his tenure, and this roster needs to get a lot better. There are opportunities to upgrade a ton on both sides of the football.
The 2025 NFL Draft class presents the next chance to make this Cardinals roster better. In a recent seven-round mock draft, getting bigger on both the offensive and defensive lines became a big priority. Upgrading the defense as a whole was extremely important.
Round 1, Pick 16: Derrick Harmon, DT Oregon
The Cardinals need to get better on the defensive line, and quickly. Harmon brings the size, length, and movement skills to play up and down the line of scrimmage. That gives Harmon the chance to become a difference maker immediately for a defense.
Round 2, Pick 47: Aireontae Ersery, OT Minnesota
Ersery boasts tremendous size and underrated lateral mobility. He has enough length and athleticism to last outside, but he also projects very well inside. That gives Ersery the combination to allow Arizona to get the best five on the field at the same time.
Round 3, Pick 78: Femi Oladejo, EDGE UCLA
Every year we have a fast rising pass rusher that you’re banking on the traits, and the future. Oladejo fits that description perfectly. After beginning his career as a starting inside linebacker role, Oladejo eventually developed into a toolsy EDGE for the Bruins this past season.
Round 4, Pick 115: Nohl Williams, CB Cal
Williams is coming off of a tremendous final season for the Golden Bears where he managed to record seven interceptions and nine pass breakups. He is a bigger cornerback with outstanding instincts and ball skills. There is nothing flashy about him athletically, but Williams does enough well to make up for it.
Round 5, Pick 152: Kaden Prather, WR Maryland
Prather didn’t take the step forward many anticipated in 2024 but he is still very talented. He possesses the combination of height-weight-speed to develop into a valuable role player. The developmental upside is still very much there.
Round 7, Pick 225: Kyle Monangai, RB Rutgers
In a very deep 2025 running back class, Monangai has become an extremely underrated player. While he isn’t a dynamic athlete, he brings outstanding contact balance and ability as a pass protector. That gives Monangai a very solid floor.
