Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-.

The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Aeneas Peebles at slot 78 regardless, 65 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Getting Loveland where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They will replay Colston Loveland at pick No. 47 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
Value said wait; Aeneas Peebles in Round 3, Pick 14 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
They paid a round early for Jeffrey Bassa in No. 115, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Willie Lampkin. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens slipping to pick 225 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
