Ep. 873 - With the 16th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select: Walter Nolen III, defensive tackle, Ole Miss. Really not a surprise. The Cardinals have prioritized defense for much of the offseason, starting with free agency and again here with their first-round pick. Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman react in real time just moments after Nolen was selected and held a conference call with local reporters. The guys explain why they like the pick; what Nolen had to say about joining the Cardinals; what some of the draft analysts thought about Nolen heading into the draft; and what this now means for what is a very loaded defensive line room, which is not a bad thing.

A combination of news, analysis, storytelling and entertainment, Cardinals Cover 2 reaches from sideline to sideline and delivers Cardinals content to the avid fan year round. Our insiders break down the team’s performance, spotlighting its personalities and looking forward to the next matchup.

Ep. 987 - It’s what every player wants. An opportunity. And for running back Tyler Allgeier, he believes he’s got a great opportunity with the Arizona Cardinals. Allgeier sat down with Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi to discuss his decision to leave Atlanta for Arizona; joining a room with James Conner, Trey Benson, Bam Knight and Corey Kiner; working with head coach Mike LaFleur, who he’s watched with admiration from afar; his journey from high school to college - and one season playing linebacker - to the NFL; plus, Paul was not afraid to bring up his zero lost fumbles stat. Before that conversation, however, the guys go over the news of the day: the signing of safety Andrew Wingard and the reported signing of wide receiver Devin Duvernay.

Ep. 986 - Happy New Year, Bird Gang! And on this the first day of the new league year, there is plenty to talk about; a lot of what has been reported is now official. Yes, that includes the future of Kyler Murray. And that’s where Craig Grialou and Zach Gershman begin the show. Murray has been released, while Gardner Minshew will reportedly sign to join holdovers Jacoby Brissett and Kedon Slovis. Who will be QB1? The guys also discuss what has quickly become a loaded running back room, additions along the line of scrimmage including a new starting guard and a familiar face returning to the defensive line, plus seven rounds equals seven draft picks come April.

Ep. 985 - Marvin Harrison Jr. Michael Wilson. Trey McBride. Three very capable pass catchers, and in the case of McBride, maybe the best at his position. In other words, it should be a quarterback-friendly offense regardless of who might be under center for the Cardinals in 2026, according to Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus. He joined Craig Grialou, who is flying solo on today’s show, at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis last week. The two had a really good conversation about Marvin, Michael, and Trey. Also, the guys looked back at the first season of Walter Nolen III, debated pass protect vs. pass rush with the third overall pick, and then Trevor explained the difficulty teams - like the Cardinals - might have finding a trade partner to move in the draft.
