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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Torricelli Simpkins III. He came off 48 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Alexander. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In pick 16 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at the 47th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech slid further than he should have, and the 78th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at pick No. 115 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in Round 5, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick225 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III in No. 225 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
