Mike Tomlin, now with NBC, predicts that Aaron Rodgers will return to Steelers: 'He's got a love affair with the game'
Mike Tomlin predicts Aaron Rodgers will return to the Steelers in 2026.
The Arizona Cardinals received the highest draft grade in the NFC West with a B after acquiring seven new players in the 2026 NFL draft. This grade, while not an A, outperformed all other teams in the division.
The 2026 NFL draft is complete, and the Arizona Cardinals acquired seven new players, one in each round. With the draft order, the focus shifts immediately to draft grades, looking at how each team did with their draft decisions.
Draft Wire's Curt Popejoy graded all 32 NFL teams' drafts. How did the Cardinals do?
They didn't get an A, but they did get the highest grade in the NFC West.
Popejoy gave them a B, but that was good enough to clearly surpass the rest of the division.
The Seattle Seahawks were given a D. The San Francisco 49ers? They got a D-minus, the lowest mark of the division, while the LA Rams got a D-plus.
Of course, everyone in the division other than the Cardinals made the playoffs and won a playoff game, so they didn't need as much from the draft. The Cardinals, whose 2025 season as disastrous, needed a better draft. So, at least by early perceptions, the Cardinals have begun to close the gap between them and the rest of the division.
