Noah DRAFTING FOR THECardinals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B-. Nobody else had Aeneas Peebles anywhere near pick 115. The Cardinals did, by 28 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Williams value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Josh Conerly Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams is a better player than the 47th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick No. 78 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152
Rnd5
Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in pick 152 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick225
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 225th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
