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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Aeneas Peebles in pick No. 78, a good 63 spots before the room expected him.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is McCord. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 16th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at slot 47 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King at pick No. 115 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
They barely believed it either: Kyle McCord still on the board at No. 152. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
