Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Cardinals did not so much draft Aeneas Peebles as overpay for him, 23 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Mills pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In pick No. 16 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Good price on Jihaad Campbell in the 47th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They took Isaiah Bond at par in Round 3, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Aeneas Peebles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in slot 152 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
