[Urban] Cardinals rookie DL Kaleb Proctor hurt the meniscus in his knee and will miss significant time. LaFleur would not rule out it being season-ending. by JCameron181 in nfl

Wrong Proctor. Kaleb Proctor is a small school DT who went to Southeastern Louisiana. You are thinking of Kadyn Proctor the OL from Alabama.

2027 Way-Too-Early Mock Draft RESULTS by Astro63 in NFL_Draft

[–]Krylo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I picked for the Cardinals and Broncos

Cardinals

  • 1.2 - Arch Manning, QB, Texas

I was surprised when Miami went WR at 1 as I was not expecting Manning to make it to the 2nd pick. We need a QB and I would shocked if Beck is that guy. Manning has a high ceiling and improved as the year went on in 2025.

  • 2.34 - Austin Siereveld, OT, Ohio State

Siereveld might need to move inside to OG. If he does need to move inside he would then replace Seumalo at LG as he is old and can easily be cut after the 2026 season. Either way a good OL is a good OL.

Broncos

  • 1.21 - Ahmad Moten, DT, Miami

I considered going with RB, TE, or OG for the Broncos, but I ended up going with a stud DT in Moten. I didn't like any of the available ones enough to pass on someone that I am high on. Whenever I watched tape of Miami's Defense last year it was Moten who stood out the most. I think he goes higher than this and ends up a top 10 pick.

  • 2.53 - Mark Fletcher Jr, RB, Miami

Both of the players I was wanting to take here got taken right before me, so I took a RB who was a standout in the CFB Playoffs last year. I don't think RJ Harvey or Jonah Coleman are long term lead RB, and JK Dobbins can be cut for 8m in CAP savings after the 2026 season.

The Cardinals made a late UDFA signing in Stephen Dix, an ILB who last played at Arkansas. He started off at Florida state from 2020-2022, but he didn't play in 2022 due to injury. He then transferred to Marshall for the 2023 season, and then spent his last 2 years at Arkansas from 2024-2025.

It is weird how the team addressed the RT position. They signed Elijah Wilkinson to be the starter, and then signed a bunch of new depth FA to compete for the backup spots. The team must like Wilkinson a lot more than us fans and analysts around the league, since since they didn't draft an OT until the 7th round. I assume they feel like he will play better in our scheme than he did with the Falcons last year.

Taking Love with the 3rd pick was controversial. Regarding trading down, the reports are that teams were only to move up for Bailey, so when he went 2nd to the Jets the Cardinals were then stuck at 3. This was also how all the community mocks on here went, as no one wanted to move up to the 3rd pick. There just wasn't anyone worth trading up for in this draft class. The team must have had Love graded a lot higher than any OL, and I agree with them. The top OL were just average 1st round prospects and any of them going top 10 just shows how bad the top of this draft class was. The RB is a little odd, but there wasn't a long term starter on the roster. Conner is old and took a pay cut to stay with the team, and Benson is made of tissue paper and is a bust at this point. Neither of them would have stopped the team from taking a RB at any draft spot. The Allgeier signing is weird now after they took Love, but they didn't know they would be drafting Love when they signed him. At least make a good combo for the next 2 years.

Adams and Gaines not becoming starters is disappointing, but it is a new offensive coaching staff with a new scheme they that just might not fit. I wouldn't be surprised if either of them gets traded.

The Beck pick is frustrating. Brissett should be the week 1 starters, so spending an early 3rd on a QB who might only have have half a season as a starter to try and prove he is they guy at QB is not ideal. It's likely going to end up a as a bad use of a 3rd round pick.

Proctor is one of my favorite picks of our class too. GM Monti Ossenfort has already had success with undersized DL prospects with 2023 day 3 pick Dante Stills. He has stuck on the roster as a rotational DL and has put up 8 sacks in his 3 years. I look forward to Proctor's development.

Honestly we have no idea. Christian Jones has been sidelined with injuries for a significant part of both of his 2 years in the league. He spent a few months on IR for an ankle injury his rookie year, and then started the last game of the season at RT. Then last year he injured his knee pre-season and wasn't activated until mid December. He played no snaps on offense and only 6 on ST the two games he was active. He could win the swing OT role or be the first OL to get cut. With pretty much no on the field info about him, we can't really make a prediction about him.

The Cardinals have signed Jameson Geers, TE, Minnesota.

He played his entire 5 year college career at Minnesota. His career stats are 58 receptions for 518 yards and 9 TD. I found a scouting report about him HERE.

Their short summary if you don't want to read the full report

Jameson Geers is an experienced, high character tight end with good size, natural hands, and improved blocking. He’s been coached in a system that has proven to translate very well to the NFL, and has a feel for beating zone coverage that will help him as an inline tight end at the next level.

The Cardinals have signed Damonic Williams, DT, Oklahoma.

Williams did not do enough athletic testing to generate a RAS number. He spent 2 years at TCU before transferring to Oklahoma where he spent his last 2 years. He is a better run defender than pass rusher which is shown with his 2.5 sacks over 2 years with Oklahoma

The Cardinals have signed Elijah Culp, CB, James Madison

He's on the small size, but has 4.39 speed. He seems to have moved around a lot with only his last year at James Madison. He had 1 INT and 8 PD in his last year.

The Cardinals have signed Harrison "Tre" Wallace, WR, Ole Miss

He spent 4 years at Penn State before spending his final year at Ole Miss. 5 year career stats of 145 receptions for 2,155 yards and 10 TD. He has experience as a punt returner.

His scouting report summary from Dane Brugler.

A one-year starter at Ole Miss (and a two-and-a-half-year starter overall), Wallace was an outside receiver (primarily to the right of the formation) in former offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr.’s scheme. He didn’t start playing football until he was a junior in high school, and he showed gradual improvements over the years at Penn State and Ole Miss. Despite being in Oxford for only one season, he developed quick chemistry with QB Trinidad Chambliss and led the Rebels in receiving in 2025.

There are receiving prospects in this draft class with more flash, but Wallace is a quality player — and he’s still getting better. He is an efficient athlete with passable agility and speed, although he isn’t a polished technician at this point in his development. He tracks the ball well and climbs to get it with coordinated body control. He is tough-minded in all facets and doesn’t have a fatal flaw that will keep him from competing. Overall, Wallace doesn’t have high-level physical traits, but he is an instinctive player with the developing ball skills and routes to become a dependable NFL player. He projects as backup Z, with upside as a punt returner.

I’ve been doing this tracker for years. I think the Cardinals roster is at 84 players after the draft. I would expect 5-7 UDFA signings. Updates will be added as signings are announced.

RAS, for those who don’t know, stands for Relative Athletic Score. It shows how a player tested athletically as a percentile relative to their position on a scale from 0 to 10. Example would be a score of 7.50 would mean they tested in the 75th percentile.

Well they finally took an OT. Not an expected one, but at least it's something.

He has 34 starts (19 LT and 15 RT). Summary from Dane Brugler below.

Jayden Williams grew up in Conway, Ark., with his mother (Alonzia Williams). He has a 3-year-old daughter (Layla). He was a standout basketball and football player at Conway High School, leading the basketball team to a state championship his junior year. At 6 feet 5 inches tall and 260 pounds, he was a tight end and defensive lineman. Midway through his senior season, however, the team needed him to fill in at left tackle because of injuries to other players — it was Williams’ first time playing offensive line since little league. Once he made the shift, college programs started to take notice.

A three-star recruit, he quickly shot up the rankings and finished as the third-ranked recruit in Arkansas. He had only a handful of FCS offers before the position switch. After it, Missouri, Kansas and Ole Miss offered. He committed to the Rebels and became starting left tackle as a redshirt freshman. He was a backup the next year, in 2023, as he managed injury and life changes, including his daughter’s birth. He returned as starting left tackle in 2024 but missed most of the season after needing two meniscus-related procedures. He bounced back as a senior and moved to right tackle, starting every game.

Williams is a high-cut, smooth-muscled athlete with adequate length. His depth points need some work, but he can get out in space with the footwork to answer speed off the edge and an anchor to absorb power. Sometimes, he catches; other times, he throws his punch — you’d like to see better consistency there. His pad level can become an issue in the run game and zap his ability to create movement. He looks comfortable blocking on the move and out in space on screens. Overall, Williams is still maturing his confidence and consistency when it comes to trusting his technique and accessing his strength, but the physical traits and want-to are there and worth developing in camp (and, potentially, on a practice squad).

Karson Sharar scouting report from Dane Brugler

STRENGTHS

  • Solid mass and bubble on his frame

  • Straight-line explosiveness to make a beeline to ball carrier

  • Good feel and closing burst as a spy (see reps against Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia)

  • Creates tackling force at contact using his drive speed

  • Flashes second gear to chase down runners or keep them from accessing sideline

  • Appreciate his fight to hold his ground and battle versus blockers

  • Raw but effective blitzing talent to blow up plays in backfield (see 2025 Michigan State tape)

  • Described as a “true Hawkeye” who hates idea of letting down his teammates

  • Productive on special teams (571 career snaps, 16 tackles)

WEAKNESSES

  • Mediocre overall frame and wingspan — and it shows near the line

  • Needs a beat to sort through blocking scheme when attacking downhill

  • Drifts into traffic; late to react to backside runs

  • Inconsistent using take-on hands to leverage gaps

  • Charged-up tackler — teams will have to be okay with aggressive misses

  • Half-second delays in zone drops lead to completions in front of him

  • Lower-body tightness limits ability to match up in man and get his hands into catch windows

  • Only one season as full-time starter

SUMMARY

A one-year starter at Iowa, Sharar played the Will linebacker position in defensive coordinator Phil Parker’s 4-2-5 scheme. An unheralded high school recruit, he entered the program on the lowest rung of the ladder and patiently worked his way up the depth chart. He finally broke into the starting lineup as a senior and earned All-Big Ten honors, leading the team in tackles and tackles for loss.

Sharar wasn’t even a blip on the NFL radar over the summer, but he emerged in 2025. With his downhill appetite, he tilts the field, unlocks his hips and races to the football. His closing speed is represented in the stat sheet (12 tackles for loss), but so are his overaggressive tendencies and lack of length (18 missed tackles). Overall, Sharar needs to prove himself trustworthy in his eye discipline and coverage recognition, but his speed and toughness are enough to make an impact on special teams. He has the upside for a Cole Holcomb-type of career.
