Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Aeneas Peebles at pick No. 115 will need to, sitting 29 spots clear of his grade.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In pick 16 they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Nothing to complain about; Jaxson Dart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
By-the-book stuff, Barrett Carter at pick No. 78 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in No. 115 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They paid up for Tommi Hill at slot 152 when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
A reach for Ja'Corey Brooks in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
