Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals did not so much draft Aeneas Peebles as overpay for him, 28 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Harris pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In pick No. 16 they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at Round 3, Pick 14 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in slot 115 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
A slide stopped in the 152nd overall pick, with Tyler Shough worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
A reach on Jabbar Muhammad in the 225th pick; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
