The Cardinals could viably draft a defensive lineman at any point in the draft. These are the 32 in Draft Wire’s top 250 players.
The 2025 NFL draft is days away, beginning next Thursday night. Teams are finalizing their draft boards, including the Arizona Cardinals.
As we approach the actual draft, Draft Wire managing editor Jeff Risdon has put together his final player rankings, ranking players 1-250.
This series of stories will break down each position group and list each player on the list, showing where they rank.
Here are the defensive tackles. The Cardinals have made the defensive line a priority this offseason, so they could get one at any point, especially in what is considered a very deep class.

Possibilities for the Cardinals
Based on mock drafts, it would appear that only Graham will be off the board when the Cardinals make their pick at No. 16 overall.
The tricky part is that, because the Cardinals are seven players deep on the defensive line on the roster currently, anybody they draft is going to have to really battle for playing time.
But with 32 players in the top 250, the Cardinals can get someone anywhere in the draft.
