The Cardinals of Arizona have opened many possibilities on the way they approach the draft of the NFL because of the way they attacked the free agency.
The defensive line and the help of Pass-Rush were the biggest needs of Arizona entering the offseason, and the two were discussed in the form of Dalvin Tomlinson and Josh Sweat, as well as the hope of a better chance of injuries with players like Justin Jones, Bilal Nichols and Bj Ojulari.
In this spirit, Arizona can be more leaning towards the “best available player” with his first -round choice if he chooses it.
Or, in the case of Chad Reuter Last four -round simulation project on nfl.comCardinals also have the freedom to get even better for a player than what they could get at No. 16.
Here, the cardinals exchanged until n ° 13 with the dolphins of Miami – exchanging their choice of third round (n ° 78) with the choice of fourth round of Miami (n ° 135) to jump three places in the first round – to take the offensive platform Kelvin Banks Jr. of Texas. This is the sixth time that he and Arizona have been twinned, according to our simulated Tracker, who is most among the players far from the defensive front.
Reuter written:
The Arizona exchanged for a versatile line player in Paris Johnson Jr. two years ago, and Banks could play inside or outside as a recruit. (He could also move to tackle in 2026 if Jonah Williams leaves as a free agent.)
The dolphins would take a banks from Banks in this hypothetical, the Coin Demi Jahdae Barron, who won the Thorpe Prize for the best defensive back in the country and was twinned twice Arizona.
Who are the choices later of cardinals in this false project?
Arizona would reimburse trade at the end of the fourth round by selecting Tafuna, the defensive platform of Utah, Tafuna, which had 7.5 bags, 16 plated for loss and two interceptions in four seasons. He would add to the depth that the defense began to accumulate in advance.
Earlier in the fourth, cardinals would select the Kansas Cobee Bryant corner with their own choice (n ° 115). He was a ballhawk for the Jayhawks, intercepting 13 assists during his four seasons and sheltering two of them. He added 22 defended passes, 11 plated for loss and three forced escapes.
With their choice of second round at n ° 47, reuter at the cardinals adding speed to the arsenal of weapons of Kyler Murray in the form of the state receiver of Iowa, Jaylin Noel. While he is smaller at 5 feet 10 inches and 194 pounds, he stood out with an athletics score of 91 with the combine harvester (classified third among the receivers), highlighted by a dashboard of 4.39 40 yards.
The Dolphins would reimburse their end of the good deal for its side by adding Elijah Arroyo, acute in Miami (n ° 78).
The draft of the NFL 2025 will start with the first round on April 24, second and third laps on April 25 and four laps in the final on April 26.
