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 safeties. This is not a great class and the Cardinals seem set at the position, but let's have a look at who is there.
It would be a surprise to see the Cardinals take any safety before Day 3, so that would seem to rule out Starks and Emmanwori, and the next group of guys, too. However, guys like Ransom or Watts fell to Day 3, it would be reasonable. Crawford is an intriguing prospect because he is a freak athlete and a standout on special teams.
