The Arizona Cardinals introduce their first-round draft pick running back Jeremiyah Love during a news conference at the Cardinals Dignity Health training facility on April 24, 2026, in Tempe, Ariz. | Rob Schumacher/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images *Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cardinals fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.* After the dust has settled for the Arizona Cardinals in the 2026 NFL Draft, we now know what the class looks like. For those living under a rock here is the Cardinals 2026 NFL Draft Class: 1.3 – Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame 2.34 – Chase Bisontis, OL, Texas A&M 3.65 – Carson Beck, QB, Miami 4.104 – Kaleb Proctor, DL, Southeastern Louisiana 5.143 – Reggie Virgil, WR, Texas Tech 6.183 – Karson Sharar, LB, Iowa 7.217 – Jayden Williams, OL, Ole Miss When we look at the class, they got a massive needle mover in Love, they hope they are getting a day one starter at guard in Bisontis, and then the wild card is Beck. The question was, how you grade the class? The results… average.

67% of fans see this as a “B” or “C” level draft, and I think that is fair. We will dive into the Love situation more this week, but the rest of it really leans on what Bisontis does, and if Beck gives them anything. Proctor should be at worst the replacement, but after that, hoping some special teams guys and maybe a developmental offensive lineman. Still, I like the quiet excitement of hoping this class will be good, nothing flashy, but maybe a really solid foundation. What is interesting is that Jeremiyah Love’s line for the season total has already moved down to 900.5 rushing yards according to our friends at .
