Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cardinals spent No. 36 on Avery Johnson, a name the board had a full 203 spots lower. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
However the rest shakes out, Abney II at that price is a win they earned. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Peter Woods
In slot 5 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
Avery Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Avery Johnson in Round 2, Pick 4, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106
Rnd4
Peyton Bowen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Peyton Bowen well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick144
Rnd5
Deion Burks
Deion Burks in No. 144 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in the 185th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219
Rnd7
Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
