Didn’t the 2025 NFL Draft feel different for the Cardinals than in years past?
The #16 pick had nothing to do with appeasing the Cardinals’ fans wishes —- or made as a means to sell more season tickets —-
There were “sexier” prospects on the board at #16 than DT Walter Nolan. Let’s face it.
Here are just a few:
- CB Will Johnson, Michigan
- WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio St.
- WR Matthew Golden, Texas
- T Josh Simmons, Ohio St.
Had the Cardinals picked any one of those four high profile players, the roars from Cardinals’ fans would have been raucous.
