2025 1st round pick 16 is Walter Nolen DT

[oaken1]

Same thing in AZ. Back in the day, every old man in AZ was wearing a shirt with the sleeves cut off, shorts, flip flops, dirty ball cap, long hair and scraggly beard or grizzly 5 o'clock shadow. Seemed like the AZ uniform.

Hey maaaan......

If you're from Bermuda, you get to wear shorts as part of a suit! I wish I was Bermudan

Just applied for duel citizenship. I'm in now, will the commission allow me to wear shorts as part of my suit for the fights?

Character issues smh. Did anyone just hear JG's story during presser about what Walter Nolen did after Will Johnson got drafted?

I seriously am stoked and think the Cards drafted Dockett 2.0. Anyone says a guy’s comparison is Dockett and I’m popping and locking.

JG was saying that players blew up his phone after Will Johnson pick all excited including Walter. He wanted Will Johnson's contact info from JG so he could reach out. JG didn't want to him to do it since Will was still mad about falling in draft so Walter offered to talk to him about his own experiences about ppl doubting him cause of work ethic etc.

Thats awesome

Not that I'm saying this guy is an insider but an example of what the 49er followers think of us getting Nolen.

49ers just gave the Cardinals a gift that'll haunt them twice a year

The 49ers passed on Walter Nolen at No. 11 overall, and an NFC West rival didn't mind that one bit.

We gifted them Bosa so let’s hope this is our reward.

The culture in the organization is changing; loving what JG and Monti are building.

It would be discrimination not to!

This is so great to hear about the culture of the players we are drafting

JG and MO have been preaching about character being important with the players they bring in

Let's hope this all plays out and we have a tight knit competitive teams for years to come

lol I legitimately thought that was a kid before hitting play.

Most kids have full beards and massive triceps. Your hate knows no bounds

His highlights he is throwing other men around against their will. Tremendous upside, if it can be tapped.

Hey Mensa, before you hit play you only see his backside. And if you’re only glancing you’re not slobbering over his physique like you must be doing.

I’ve also not been one to comment on his size in the past. It is what it is. I was just laughing at my error when I went to click on it.

Your man-love has risen to levels of disturbing. Kyler should consider getting a protective order against you.

Before you hit play you see him from the side, beard clearly visible. Nice try though. Never give up a chance to take a pot shot at Kyler, pathetic. You seem like a miserable sad person. I'll pray for you.

Agreed. Without Calais and Dalvin I’m not drafting Nolen.

Have faith in Nolen guys.

Consensus #19

Analysis:

The Cardinals add another extremely talented player to amplify their defensive front. As a plus run defender, Nolen earned the second-highest PFF run-defense grade in the FBS this past season (91.6). The seventh-ranked prospect on the PFF Big Board will instantly upgrade an Arizona defense that ranked 27th in EPA allowed per rush in 2024.

Bio:

Nolen isn't the most polished interior defender, but he might be among the most physically gifted. If he continues to grow in his pre-snap plan and hand usage, he can be an impactful, versatile defensive tackle with a high floor due to his strength in run defense.

Nolen was a five-star recruit and the No. 2 player in the 2022 class, according to 247Sports. He started his college career at Texas A&M as a rotational defensive lineman for two years before transferring to Ole Miss and becoming a consensus All-American in 2024.

At 6-foot-3 and 295 pounds, Nolen has so much natural power. His upper body is incredibly strong, helping him throw off blockers or crash through double teams. Because of that, he is an impactful run defender.

If Nolen doesn’t win with his first step or speed-to-power bull rush, his efforts can stall. He also relies too much on power to fight through once blocked. His hand usage improved in 2024 but needs more precision and purpose. That would also help him not expose his chest as much to linemen. He got better in all those areas from 2023 to 2024, but more growth is needed. Nolen has long arms (67th percentile), giving him some positional versatility, but he will be best as a 3-technique in the NFL.

Obviously love the pick as it’s the one I wanted. Nolan arguebly the hugest upside outside the top 6. Dane Bugler from the Athletic rated this as the best match pick. Not only in scheme, but also that Nolan steps into a room with Tomlinson and CC as mentors
