Their projected role by Year 2 is shown in (parentheses) alongside their scouting grade and a brief description. - **Critical and Positional Factors:** Each factor is graded on a scale from 1-9\. If a player has no below the line or above the line grades, meaning they graded out as sufficient (5) or good (6) in all factors, they won't have a callout in their profile below. --- ### Walter Nolen, DT **SIS Grade: 6.7 (Strong Starter):** 3-down Starter level player 7️⃣ ****Very good:** Play strength --- ### Will Johnson, CB **SIS Grade: 6.7 (3-down Starter level):** Solid starter-level player 7️⃣ ****Very good:** Zone coverage, FBI --- ### Jordan Burch, EDGE **SIS Grade: 6.5 (Lower End Starter):** High end DPR or solid 2 down starter 4️⃣ ****Mediocre:** Pass rush; Flat coverage --- ### Cody Simon, MLB **SIS Grade: 6.2 (IB/OB Flexion - Backup):** Non-starter versatile reserve LB - True position flexibility 4️⃣ ****Mediocre:** Stoutness; Shed ability --- ### Denzel Burke, CB **SIS Grade: 6.4 (Role-playing starter):** 3rd CB - Lacks I/O flex 4️⃣ ****Mediocre:** Off-man; Slot coverage --- ### Hayden Conner, OG **SIS Grade: 5.7 (Limited Backup): #**4 OG or #3 OC w/o positional flexion 4️⃣ ****Mediocre:** Reactive athleticism; Body control; 2nd level; Range --- ### Kitan Crawford, SAF **SIS Grade: 5.8** "Middle of the Road" Backup**): #**4 SAF, non-starter - quality SPT player 7️⃣ ****Very good:** ST value 4️⃣ ****Mediocre:** Range --- ### [UDFA Signings](https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2025-udfa-tracker-undrafted-free-agent-signings-all-32-nfl-teams?ref=bandit.football) WR Bryson Green, Wisconsin TE Oscar Cardenas, UTSA T Jeremiah Byers, Florida State T Josh Fryar, Ohio State T Valentin Senn, Connecticut DI Elijah Simmons, Tennessee ### Minicamp Invites None reported as of 4/28/2025 ## 3-Round Mock Draft 2025 Arizona Cardinals Mock ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/05/df/05df3c6e-de4a-47b4-bb3f-5f4c6eedc398/content/images/2025/04/Arizona-Cardinals-Mock-Header.png) ## 3-Round Mock Draft Logic - 1.16 (16) **Mykel Williams,** EDGE - 2.15 (15) **Benjamin Morrison,** CB - 3.14 (78) **Ty Robinson,** DL --- 🔎 ****Positions of Interest:** EDGE, DT, NT, LB, WR, CB --- ### SIS Scouting Reports — Grade (Scale) - [**Mykel Williams, ED**](https://nfldraft.sportsinfosolutions.com/players/1313?ref=bandit.football) **—** 6.6 (Lower-end Starter) - [**Benjamin Morrison, CB**](https://nfldraft.sportsinfosolutions.com/players/1092?ref=bandit.football) **—** 6.6 (Lower-end Starter) - [**Ty Robinson, DT**](https://nfldraft.sportsinfosolutions.com/players/1578?ref=bandit.football) **—** 6.2 (Limited Starter or Multi-Position Backup) --- The Arizona Cardinals have been laser-focused on adding high-character players to their locker room since Monti Ossenfort and Jonathan Gannon took over. In the second round, they select Notre Dame CB **Benjamin Morrison,** a team captain whose father, Darryl, a Phoenix native, played safety in the NFL then became a pastor when he retired and just so happens to lead chapel services for the Arizona Cardinals on the weekend. > Morrison's draft stock has tumbled due to two hip surgeries over the past four years. That's incredibly concerning for a cornerback, as hip fluidity is essential to playing the position at a high level. In the third round, they take **Ty Robinson,** who was born and raised outside the Phoenix area. Robinson made the Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll four times at Nebraska and head coach Matt Rhule had this to say about his team-first attitude, in The Beast, "I can't express how much Ty means to me.... I can't express it." There are other reasons why, but the main reason is Arizona needs all the help it can get along its defensive front to try and stop the run after getting shredded on the ground last season. Then there's **Mykel Williams,** who I've mocked to the Cardinals in the 1st Round. Here's a guy with blue-chip potential that teams like the Ravens and Eagles might be interested in trading up for, and a player who's a character fit, according to Georgia HC Kirby Smart: "He's very versatile for us in terms of on the field, but there is no greater value than what he does in the locker room.... (He's a) great leader for us." > *Also in "The Beast": As a child, Williams trained with defensive line specialist Chuck Smith, who now serves as the Baltimore Ravens' pass rush coach.* [2025 NFL Draft 3-Round MockThis 3-round mock combines mountains of research with sourced insider reports to provide the latest intel ahead of the NFL Draft.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/05/df/05df3c6e-de4a-47b4-bb3f-5f4c6eedc398/content/images/icon/bandit_time_ghost_pub_logo-1-64.png)Bandit FootballBrad Beatson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/05/df/05df3c6e-de4a-47b4-bb3f-5f4c6eedc398/content/images/thumbnail/2025-Mock-Draft-Hero-18.png)](https://www.bandit.football/2025-nfl-draft-3-round-mock/) --- ### Other Potential Picks - **Day 1: *Will Johnson,* *Jalon Walker, Jihaad Campbell, Josh Simmons, Walter Nolen,* *Shemar Stewart, Kenneth Grant, James Pearce Jr., Matthew Golden, Trey Amos*** - **Day 2:** *Nic Scourton, Princely Umanmielen, Cam Skattebo, Darius Alexander, T.J.
