Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Aeneas Peebles at the 80th pick. The Cardinals jumped the board by 68 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Getting Starks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In slot 23 they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at pick No. 46 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at the 47th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick48 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the 48th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick50 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick 50 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer in pick 51 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
A big swing on Shemar Turner at No. 54, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at slot 55 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick56 Rnd2 Elijah Arroyo
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Arroyo in the 56th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick65 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
No edge and no loss on Carson Schwesinger in Round 3, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the 66th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Skattebo this early at the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They liked Deone Walker enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 68. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in pick No. 80 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
