Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals clearly saw something nobody else did in Haynes King, taking him 70 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Domani Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Domani Jackson at pick 49, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick81 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
By-the-book stuff, Aeneas Peebles at No. 81 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Haynes King
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Haynes King. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at the 152nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
