Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Shough. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Cardinals one, and it paid up: Tyler Shough, the No. 143 name on the board, sitting there at the 191st overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Every board in the league had Simpkins III lower, and that gap is the story. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 16 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Tyleik Williams worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Circle this one: Elic Ayomanor at the 85th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Nothing to complain about; Barrett Carter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Steal is underselling it; Denzel Burke at the 115th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They read the board right and Jared Wilson was the payoff at pick No. 122. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Jordan Phillips reach slot 152 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Tyler Shough in pick 191, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at No. 225 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
