Overall B-

ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Zeek Biggers at Round 7, Pick 9, a reach of 25 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. They banked enough surplus on Rourke to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick16 Rnd1 Grey Zabel

Grey Zabel in No. 16 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.

Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell

Jihaad Campbell slid further than he should have, and pick No. 47 is lovely value for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick78 Rnd3 Shemar Turner

Shemar Turner at Round 3, Pick 14 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.

Pick115 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant

Cobee Bryant at pick 115 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.

Pick152 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke

Kurtis Rourke at slot 152 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
