ARIZONA — The EasySportz NFL draft analyst released team-by-team grades for all 32 clubs, starting with the Arizona Cardinals and an underwhelming review of their 2026 class.

This was not exactly a glowing review for the new staff in the desert.

Arizona selected Jeremiyah Love, Chase Bisontis, Carson Beck, Kaleb Proctor, Reggie Virgil, Karson Sharar and Jayden Williams across its draft haul, but the in-house evaluation did not view the group favorably.

Our analyst gave the Cardinals a D+ grade and criticized the overall direction of the class, saying the team failed to maximize value in key spots.

While the report noted a strong individual talent in Love, it also argued Arizona misused the pick and did not extract enough return relative to opportunity. The review pointed to a lack of impact depth and questioned several selections as reaches based on board value.

The rest of the class drew similar skepticism in the internal breakdown, which described the group as inconsistent in both fit and upside.

Arizona now enters the offseason with questions about whether the draft addressed its long-term needs or simply added volume without clear impact players.

The Cardinals will look to prove the evaluation wrong on the field, but early reaction from the analyst was blunt: the class underwhelmed.
