Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Beck: B.

The Cardinals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Carson Beck fell into pick No. 144.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In slot 5 they get a building block for the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in Round 3, Pick 3 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Adon Shuler
A tidy little value on Adon Shuler in pick 106, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick144 Rnd5 Carson Beck
Carson Beck in No. 144 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
