Will any of these outstanding NFL prospects be selected by the Cardinals?

Opinion: Most impressive 2024 college game tape per position (per 12 personnel and 34 defense):

• QB Jaxson Dart, Mississippi
• RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise St. (lightning)
• RB Omarion Hampton, North Carolina (thunder)
• WR Jayden Higgins, Iowa St.
• WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona
• TE Tyler Warren, Penn State
• LT Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas
• LG Tyler Booker, Alabama
• C Jared Wilson, Georgia
• RG Tate Ratledge, Georgia
• RT Armand Membou, Missouri
• TE Colston Loveland, Michigan
• OLB Abdul Carter, Penn St.
• DT Mason Graham, Michigan
• NT Kenneth Grant, Michigan
• DT Walter Nolen, Mississippi
• WLIB Jalon Walker, Georgia
• SILB Jihaad Campbell, Alabama
• OLB Donovan Ezeiruaku, Boston College
• CB Travis Hunter, Colorado
• SS Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina
• FS Malaki Starks, Georgia
• CB Trey Amos, Mississippi
• NC Jahdae Barron, Texas

Would love to see the Cardinals snag 1 or 2 of these outstanding players with picks #16 and #47.

Jihaad Campbell sliding, or could the Arizona Cardinals get a steal?

One of the great unknowns of every NFL Draft is that special inside information.

We get leaks of it here and there and then have to parse out the information if it is good, bad or even noteworthy.

Then have to weigh it against what we do know.

We have heard rumors about concerns for character in James Pearce Jr., Walter Nolen and Mike Green. Some more serious than others. Yet the Cardinals have had a top 30 visit reported with JPJ.

After the initial mix of top 30 visits, the Arizona Cardinals are bringing in some heavy hitters that absolutely warrant the 16th overall pick.

Now a bigger question has been raised.

Likely first round pick, probable top 20 pick and someone many like for the Arizona Cardinals with the 16th pick Jihaad Campbell has found himself in the rumor mill.

Nothing off the field though, instead another aspect of the draft cycle has reared its ugly head… injuries.

Mel Kiper Jr. has said he’s heard that Campbell could fall all the way to round two.

Typically an inside linebacker type sliding to day two isn’t news, but Campbell is one of the premier talents in this draft.

Campbell had surgery on a torn labrum after the combine, and that surgery isn’t far enough out for teams medical staffs to make an evaluation.

Also, the recovery timeframe could mean Campbell misses all offseason training and could potentially miss part of camp.

So, are the Cardinals a team who could be out on Campbell early? That will be an interesting situation to follow.
