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

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 16 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden in pick No. 47 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in pick 78 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 114 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
