LSU OT names player to watch for Cardinals in 2025 draft

The Arizona Cardinals are approaching their 2024 regular season and the 2024 college football season is coming up. While the 2025 NFL draft is far from on our minds, Pro Football Focus reminds us to think a little bit about it.

Trevor Sikkema named one offensive player to watch for every NFL team for next year’s draft.

For the Cardinals, it is LSU offensive tackle Emery Jones.

The Cardinals did well to bolster their pass-catching group by drafting Marvin Harrison Jr. last season. Tight end Trey McBride should continue to be an impactful receiver, as well. Wide receiver Michael Wilson is poised for a big second season, and receivers Zay Jones and Greg Dortch bring good depth.

Projecting future needs, LSU offensive tackle Emery Jones would make for an excellent addition to this offensive line. Jones plays right tackle for the Tigers right now but could find a home at either tackle or guard in the NFL.

Paris Johnson should occupy left tackle for years. They have Jonah Williams under contract for two seasons. Having someone ready to take over for him would be good.

Jones is officially a player to pay attention to as the college football season progresses this fall.
