Arizona Cardinals May Scouting Report
David Vohs
5/31/2025

The NFL 2025 Draft has come and gone and all 32 teams made improvements to their rosters with youth, fresh legs, and new visions of greatness.

The Arizona Cardinals have some new faces in camp and some very good talent.

At QB, QB Kyler Murray is the starter with no doubt. QB Kyler Murray is backed up by QB Jacoby Brissett – a good one-two punch at quarterback. The Cardinals look in pretty good shape. The third stringer is QB Clayton Tune who showed some promise last year.

For the RB position, the Cardinals have RB James Conner, RB Trey Benson, RB Emari Demercado, RB DeeJay Dallas and RB Michael Carter as well as RB Bam Knight. At least 2 of those won’t be on the starting roster in 2025.

At WR, I thought the Cardinals were going to upgrade at this position, but their stable is is pretty full. WR Marvin Harrison Jr has bulked up for his 2nd season. WR Michael Wilson will be in his third season and looks to break out. WR Zay Jones is a great #3 WR with WR Greg Dortch, WR Xavier Weaver, and WR Simi Fehoko. I really thought the Cards would add a top-WR here but not to be.

At TE, the Cardinals are 100% set for years with TE Trey McBride. Behind him, is TE Tip Reiman, TE Elijah Higgins, TE Josiah Deguara, TE Travis Vokolek, and TE Oscar Cardenas. TE Tip Reiman seems to be the TE#2 on this team.

On the defensive side for IDP Players:

DE: DE Calais Campbell will mentor DE Walter Nolen II for the season and then Nolen takes over. On the other side, DE Darius Robinson should anchor the DE on the right side with DE justin Jones and a few others for depth.

NT: NT Dalvin Tomlinson will anchor the middle for the team. NT Bilal Nichols will back him up.

LB: LB Josh Sweat is going to lead this defense. LB Mack Wilson, LB Akeem Davis-Gaither, and LB Baron Browning should be the starting 4. Behind them are LB Zaven Collins, Owen Pappoe, LB Cody Simon, and BY Ojulari are second string.

Defensive Backfield: CB Will Johnson and CB Max Melton will be the starting corners aligning with S Budda Baker and S Jalen Thompson becoming a strength of this team. Plenty of depth on this team in the defensive backfield for sure. The Cardinals spent 2 draft picks on FS Kitan Crawford (7th round) and CB Denzel Burke (5th round) for depth.

Summer starts soon and training camps start mid-summer! This should be an exciting time for the Cardinals.

 

Go Cardinals!

 

End.
