Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Cardinals: C+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Aeneas Peebles a full 60 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Landing Alexander that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In the 16th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Danny Stutsman
A big swing on Danny Stutsman at Round 2, Pick 15, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
They talked themselves into Aeneas Peebles at No. 78, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
