The 2025 NFL Combine has set the stage for a thrilling offseason, and whispers are already circulating about some potential game-changers for the Arizona Cardinals. As free agency nears, the buzz is growing—could this be the year the Cards finally make the moves they’ve been dreaming about?
Everyone’s talking about the glaring needs on this roster, but what’s more exciting is how these needs perfectly align with the strengths of the 2025 draft class. This might just be the chance the Cardinals have been waiting for—a golden opportunity to build the team the right way, something no regime has been able to do for years. Some say Denny Green was the only one who even came close, but let’s be real, he never got to see the fruits of his labor.
Now, the question on everyone’s lips: Can Monti Ossenfort and Jonathan Gannon actually land four impact starters and turn this ship around? After watching the Combine, I’m starting to believe they might just pull it off.
Here’s where it gets spicy—rumors are swirling about three players who could be absolute steals at pick 16 (don’t be shocked if these names are already at the top of the Cards’ draft board):
Derrick Harmon, Oregon
People are buzzing about Harmon’s insane size and testing numbers, but what’s got everyone’s attention is his breakout season at Oregon. The word is he’s a wrecking ball in the making, and if the Cardinals grab him, he could be the centerpiece of their defense for years to come. Some insiders are even hinting that he’s climbing so fast on draft boards, the Cards might need to trade up to secure him.
Jihad Campbell, Alabama
Don’t be surprised if Campbell’s name starts to pop up more and more in Cardinals rumors. With his explosiveness and versatility, he’s the type of player you can build a defense around. The chatter is that Campbell could be the missing piece to finally bring leadership and chaos to the middle of the defense. Some say he’s the most ready-to-play rookie in the entire draft.
Armand Membou, Missouri
Membou might just be the most talked-about sleeper at pick 16. His Combine performance left scouts drooling, and there are whispers that the Cardinals might be eyeing him as the next big thing on the offensive line. His movement alongside elite players like Tristan Wirfs has raised more than a few eyebrows. Some are even saying he’s got the tools to be a future All-Pro and could be the bookend to PJJ for years to come.
The buzz is building, and don’t be surprised if the Cardinals shock everyone with these picks. Stay tuned—tomorrow we might have even more juicy details on who could be the surprise
name at pick 47.
