2025 Arizona Cardinals NFL Draft Odds: Who Will The Cardinals Select At 16?

By Adam Martin Mar 19th, 2025 11:56 AM EDT

The Arizona Cardinals missed out on the playoffs last season and will be looking to bounce back and get back to the postseason this year. The Cardinals have a lot of nice pieces already on the team, but they need more if they are going to remain competitive in the crowded NFC West.

The Cardinals have some talent, but they have quite a few holes on the team to fill, and they need to sign some new players in free agency, plus get some young prospects in the draft to help them out going forward.

With the Cardinals holding the No. 16 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, they have a good opportunity to collect a solid prospect who will help them going forward, and Bookies.com veteran oddsmaker Adam Thompson has put together hypothetical NFL odds for sports betting on who could the Cardinals take.

Matthew Golden	WR, Texas	+750	11.8%

Top Possible Choices

📍 Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama (+500)

The Cardinals could certainly use help at linebacker, and Jihaad Campbell of Alabama would be a nice pickup for the team.

📍 Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri (+600)

Should the Cardinals look to wide receivers for their draft pick, then Luther Burden III of Missouri would make sense.

📍 Walter Nolen, DL, Ole Miss (+700)

Filling the defensive line would be smart, too, so Walter Nolen of Ole Miss makes sense for their pick, too.

📍 Matthew Golden, WR, Texas (+750)

One of the top prospects at wide receiver is Matthew Golden of Texas, and the Cardinals could very well take him in the draft.

📍 Jalon Walker, Edge, Georgia (+750)

Georgia’s Jalon Walker would be a great addition to the edge if the Cardinals want to help shore up their defensive line.

📍 Shemar Stewart, DL, Texas A&M (+800)

Also, Shemar Stewart of Texas A&M makes sense as a defensive lineman if the Cardinals choose to upgrade that position.

📍 Mike Green, Edge, Marshall (+850)

Mike Green of Marshall is another edge rusher the Cardinals should consider at No. 16.

📍 James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee (+1000)

Additionally, James Pearce Jr. of Tennessee would be a good edge rusher for the Cardinals.

📍 Kenneth Grant, DL, Michigan (+1200)

The Cardinals should also consider Michigan’s Kenneth Grant on the team’s defensive line if that’s the area of their team they want to upgrade.

📍 The Field (+700)

The field is also a viable option, given how many positions of need the Cardinals have.
