ROTB selection challenge —- which defensive front 7 players would you pick at #16 and #47?
Today, I am looking at defensive front 7 players (by position) in the 2025 NFL Draft who might be available at pick #16 for the Arizona Cardinals.
- SOLB —- Nick Scourton, Texas A&M —- best combo SOLB in the draft, a notch ahead of Jack Sawyer
- SDE —- Tyliek Williams, Ohio St. —- the way he moves at 6’3” 327 is something special
- NT —- Kenneth Walker, Michigan —- best “Jumbo” DT in the draft
- WDE —- Walter Nolen, Mississippi —- most slippery, disruptive DT, save for Mason Graham
- WOLB —- Jalon Walker, Georgia —- he wants to play the edge, where for Nick Rallis he could be the 2022 Eagles’ version of Haason Reddick
- SILB —- Jihaad Campbell, Alabama —- perfect fit at MIKE because he is as outstanding in pass coverage as he is in run stopping
- WILB —- Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina —- listed as a SS but is a tremendous box defender both versus the run and most especially in pass coverage where is truly gifted
Round 2
- SOLB —- TJ Tuimoloau, Ohio St.
- SDE —- Alfred Collins, Texas
- NT —- Darius Alexander, Toldeo
- WDE —- Landon Jackson, Arkansas
- WOLB —- Donovan Ezeiruaku, Boston College
- SILB —- Demetrius Knight, Jr., South Carolina
- WILB —- Chris Paul, Jr., Mississippi
