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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cardinals spent the Round 3 slot on Shilo Sanders, a name most had 209 spots down the list. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C- in the wash.

The Ersery steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Elijah Roberts
In the 16th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Aeneas Peebles
They reached a country mile for Aeneas Peebles at pick 27, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78 Rnd3 Shilo Sanders
A real head-scratcher, Shilo Sanders in Round 3, Pick 14 is miles ahead of his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick225 Rnd7 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at slot 225 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
