Cardinals fans have seen enough, and the grades are in for Monti Ossenfort’s drafting era: a big, fat “underwhelming.” That’s the reality check straight from the fanbase, and honestly, it pretty much sets the tone for a season the national media already has zero faith in.
Draft Day Blues Hit Hard
You can’t win if you don’t draft well, right? That’s the cold, hard truth of the NFL, and according to their own fans, Ossenfort hasn’t delivered. Those “underwhelming” draft grades speak volumes. Add to that maybe some of the worst free agent classes we’ve seen in the past three seasons,though we can hold out hope for this year’s class,and what do you get? A general manager who has only managed to scrape together 15 total wins in three seasons. And get this, their 2026 draft class is already cooked, with two of their top four picks sidelined for the entire season. Seriously? How do you even start to build anything for the future with that kind of hit?
Against All Odds
It’s no wonder the national media has the lowest expectations for this squad, not just for the whole season but even for Week 1. They’re heading into their first game against the Los Angeles Chargers as +9.5 underdogs. That’s not just a little skeptical, that’s basically saying “good luck surviving.” Then there’s the FanDuel line, laying out a brutal +2000 for them to even make the playoffs. That’s the worst odds in the entire NFL, bar none.
So yeah, the NFL season kicks off this Wednesday, and it’s looking like an uphill battle from day one for this squad. Can they flip the script? With this kind of fan frustration and those brutal odds stacked against them, they’ve got their work cut out for them, big time.
