2025 NFL mock draft tracker: Arizona Cardinals
The book is officially closed on the Arizona Cardinals’ 2024 campaign.
You know what that means? It’s NFL mock draft season!
There are plenty of shapes Arizona’s No. 16 overall pick can take given the team’s needs.
Does Arizona focus on a pass rusher? Does it trade the selection altogether for added draft capital? Maybe some premium veteran talent?
There’s definitely a lot of ways this can go, making for an eventful — and potentially chaotic — pre-draft season.
But don’t you worry! To help keep your head from spinning, our annual Arizona Sports Mock Draft Tracker is back up and running.
Here you’ll find a boatload of mocks from analysts around the NFL, leading up to the first round of the draft.
