GRADE

Jeremiyah Love RB, ND
OVR RK: 7 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 214
Love is a special talent at the running back position and will immediately transform the Cardinals rushing attack. This grade isn’t an indictment of the caliber of player the Cardinals got, but the value for a team not built to contend without a quarterback. They’ll burn the most productive and cheap years for a player at a position with an already short career length. (Mike Renner)

Chase Bisontis IOL, TXAM
OVR RK: 39 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 315
After taking Jeremiyah Love in round 1, the Cardinals come back and give him someone to open up running lanes. Bisontis is also a physical presence in pass protection where he thrives cleaning up pockets whenever he can. Without any options to fill their tackle need, this was the next best option. (Mike Renner)

Carson Beck QB, MIAMI
OVR RK: 202 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 225
This feels like a relative slap in the face to Cardinals fans. Your offseason investment at the most valuable position is a 24-year old with limited tools after you’ve taken a running back and a guard. Is this guy really going toe-to-toe with Matt Stafford or Sam Darnold in that division? It feels like when the Texans drafted Davis Mills 67th in 2021. I’d rather they passed on quarterback entirely and prayed for a better crop of quarterbacks in 2027. (Mike Renner)

Kaleb Proctor DL, SELOU
OVR RK: 71 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 291
Proctor has some serious potential as an interior rusher, but he’s a bit undersized and can get washed out of run fits. Arizona will be able to get after teams with Walter Nolen and Proctor on the field together on passing downs. (Josh Edwards)

Reggie Virgil WR, TXTECH
OVR RK: 179 • POS RK: 29 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 190
Virgil was likely a victim of a strong receiver class. He had been thought of as a potential Day 2 prospect, but there were so many options that he got pushed down the board. Arizona has a lot of tall targets in the offense. (Josh Edwards)

183
Karson Sharar LB, IOWA
OVR RK: 345 • POS RK: 37 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 231
Linebacker is a position I thought Arizona may address earlier in the draft, but they could ill afford reach for need. Sharar brings some special teams value. (Josh Edwards)

Jayden Williams OT, MISS
OVR RK: 285 • POS RK: 26 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 320
Williams’ size and foot speed is worth Arizona exploring at this stage of the draft. They have taken multiple offensive linemen to give themselves several bites of the apple. (Josh Edwards)
