Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Aeneas Peebles, 29 picks early at slot 115.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Schwesinger where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
A clean, defensible pick in No. 47 with a little surplus value in T.J. Sanders. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A tidy bit of business in pick 78, where Carson Schwesinger graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aeneas Peebles this early at the 115th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They did well to land Logan Brown in pick No. 152, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Nothing to complain about; Robert Longerbeam went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
