Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureC+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Howard Cross III at slot 115 is 114 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Josh Conerly Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47
Rnd2
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at the 47th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78
Rnd3
Tory Horton
Value said wait; Tory Horton in the 78th overall pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
They let Danny Stutsman come to them and pounced at pick 97. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Howard Cross III
They talked themselves into Howard Cross III at No. 115, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
They paid sticker price for Andres Borregales in pick No. 152, and that is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick174
Rnd5
Cam Miller
A real head-scratcher, Cam Miller in pick 174 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225
Rnd7
Justin Walley
Justin Walley at No. 225 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
