Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B.

The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 151 on Antwane Wells Jr. a full 28 spots early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Getting Nolen where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at the 47th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at slot 78 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
They liked Dillon Gabriel enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 113. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at pick 151 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
