B-
Arizona Cardinals
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B- to prove it.

The Cardinals put a flag in the ground for Aeneas Peebles, 38 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
On value alone, McCord makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 16th overall pick they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aeneas Peebles this early at the Round 2 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A reach for Chris Paul Jr. in slot 78; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A slide stopped in No. 114, with Tai Felton worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Kyle McCord in Round 5, Pick 14 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
