![2025 NFL Draft - Round 1](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/l_zMW6RXKsBlRAVcuUUR1XWXsNg=/0x0:5535x3690/1200x800/filters:focal(2122x1146:3006x2030)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/74110630/2211978378.0.jpg)

It would not be a stretch to think that the Cardinals and 49ers have been feeling more than a little envious of the way the Rams have, in very quick fashion, bolstered their defensive line with significant talent, primarily through the NFL draft.

**The Rams’ Fab 5:**

* DE Jared Verse —- R1 2024

* DT Kobie Turner —- R3 2023

* NT Poona Ford —- UFA LAC

* DT Braden Fiske —- R2 2024

* DE Byron Young —- R3 2023

**The Seahawks** under 2nd year defensive-minded HC Mike Macdonald, have been fast at work to try to create a **Fab 5** of their own.

* ED Demarcus Lawrence —- UFA DAL

* DE Leonard Williams —- Trade/NYG

* NT Byron Murphy II —- R1 2024

* DE Jarren Reed —- R2 2016

* ED Uchenna Nwosu —- UFA LAC

This off-season, the Cardinals and 49ers have taken significant effort to improve their defensive line talent.

**Cardinals' Fab 5:**

* ED Josh Sweat —- UFA PHI

* DE Walter Nolen —- R1 2025

* NT Dalvin Tomlinson —- UFA CLE

* DE Darius Robinson —- R1 2024

* ED Baron Browning —- Trade/DEN re-signed

Note: Plus, the timely additions of UFA Calais Campbell and 2025 3rd round pick ED Jordan Burch.

**The 49ers’ Fab 5:**

* ED Nick Bosa —- R1 2019

* DT Alfred Collins —- R2 2025

* NT C.J. West —- R3 2025

* DE Jordan Elliott —- UFA CLE

* ED Mykel Williams —- R1 2025

Note: The 49ers have now acquired edge rusher Bryce Huff from PHI to reunite him with his former Jets’ HC Robert Saleh.
