The Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the league wrapped up the 2025 NFL draft over the weekend. The Cardinals selected seven players, one in each of the seven rounds, and defense dominated. Six of their seven player selections were on defense.

Why it matters: The Arizona Cardinals are in the midst of a multi-year rebuild under head coach Jonathan Gannon and looked to use the draft to load up on talent that will help the team push to the next level this season. State of play: Most analysts gave the Cardinals' draft class a "B" rating or higher.
