One year after making 12 selections in the NFL draft — more than any other team — the Arizona Cardinals have just five picks this year. They traded their sixth-rounder to Denver for Baron Browning at the deadline and previously sent their seventh-rounder to Carolina to acquire Robbie Anderson.

The Cardinals currently have Jonah Williams under contract and he has $2.5 million in guaranteed salary for injury, but he is due a $1.5 million roster bonus and that $2.5 million becomes fully guaranteed on March 16. He is coming off a knee injury, so it is not yet known whether he could be medically cleared by March 16.

The Arizona Cardinals have a number of needs they should address in the 2025 NFL draft. Their biggest need is at outside linebacker for a premier pass rusher. However, with other needs and depending on how the actual draft plays out,

Paul played three seasons for Arkansas before transferring to Ole Miss. He is 6-foot-1 and 235 pounds. He is athletic and was productive last season with 88 tackles, 11 for loss, 3.5 sacks, an interception and five pass breakups.

ARIZONA -- It's officially mock draft season for the Arizona Cardinals, who have a world of possibilities with the 16th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Arizona could opt to fix a few different positions, though they're heavily favored to address the defensive side of the ball with their earliest of five total picks.

Jalon Walker, a linebacker from Georgia, fell to the Arizona Cardinals at No. 16 in NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah's first mock draft.
