Combine: 9 Offensive Players Who Shot Up Cardinals Draft Board

The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine has officially concluded, and we will walk away from Indianapolis with updated boards. The attention is on the defensive side of the football, but there are still several playmaker on offense who Found a way to stand out.

We will see changes to ordering on an annual basis following the Combine, but this year feels like it could lead to drastic shakeups.

As always, we are focused on the Arizona Cardinals perceptive here, and they were busy on Sunday watching offensive lineman. Of course, they were still looking at this year‘s wide receiver group while monitoring quarterbacks not named Cam Ward, or Shedeur Sanders.

Arizona should be traveling back to the desert happy with what they saw from all three of those position groups. A backup quarterback who can challenge Kyler Murray is needed, and those guys were displayed and looked good.

Upgrades in depth are needed at receiver, including a need for speed, And more than a handful of guys check that off. And the offensive line has players at all five spot — Something that is vital for AZ.

Obviously, running backs and tight ends worked out as well, but considering the Cardinals don’t have a drastic need for either of those positions we will be leaving them out of this piece.

Let’s take a look at the biggest winners from those three spots, starting with quarterback:

Quarterbacks

Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss

The top quarterbacks in this draft class decided not to throw the ball to combine and Dart decided to capitalize on that opportunity.

The long time Ole Miss starter was the most consistent passer in Indianapolis, which is currently worth its weight in gold.

As we try and figure out who QB3 is in this class, Dart is continuing to make his case as the runaway third option.

Quinn Ewers, Texas

Ewers also had a nice opportunity to sling the ball around With Ward and Sanders, deciding not to throw. Like Dart, Ewers made the most of it.

What stood out as the biggest point of strength in Ewers’ game has been his mechanics and ball placement. Both were on this way as he was hitting receivers at all three levels of the field.

Tyler Shough, Louisville

Show is undoubtedly one of the quarterbacks that you have likely not heard very much about. After his performance in Indianapolis, you should expect him to be one of the more talked about quarterbacks in the third tier like Riley Leonard and Kurtis Rourke.
