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 wide receivers. The Cardinals could viably select one in any part of the draft.
NFL draft final player rankings: Wide receiver
- Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State (No. 18)
- Luther Burden, Missouri (No. 22)
- Matthew Golden, Texas (No. 26)
- Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona (No. 32)
- Trey Harris, Ole Miss (No. 43)
- Jayden Higgins, Iowa State (No. 47)
- Elic Ayomanor, Stanford (No. 62)

- Savion Williams, TCU (No. 131)
- Isaiah Bond, Texas (No. 138)
- Antwane Wells, Ole Miss (No. 153)
- Isaac TeSlaa, Arkansas (No. 164)
- Tez Johnson, Oregon (No. 172)
- Nick Nash, San Jose State (No. 181)
- Xavier Restrepo, Miami (No. 188)
- Jordan Watkins, Ole Miss (No. 197)
- Dominic Lovett, Georgia (No. 206)
- Will Sheppard, Colorado (No. 218)
- Kobe Hudson, UCF (No. 226)
- Joey Hobert, Texas State (No. 228)
- Lahjontay Webster, Colorado (No. 230)
- Elijah Badger, Florida (No. 233)
- Ricky White, UNLV (No. 238)
Possibilities for the Cardinals
Truthfully, if the Cardinals wanted to go with a first-round receiver, it would make sense. So they could get any player at any point, really. But wouldn’t it be cool to pair Marvin Harrison Jr. with former teammate Egbuka?
Will they go with a receiver? Probably not, especially considering their pre-draft work with defensive linemen and edge defenders. So players starting with Trey Harris begin to make sense.
