Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Larceny in slot 104 lands the Cardinals a B-, Lew and all.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cardinals did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Lew to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell in pick No. 17 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick34 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A conviction pick on Caleb Banks at pick 34 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Blake Miller
Blake Miller in No. 50 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
No edge and no loss on Michael Taaffe in the 65th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick93 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette slipping to Round 3, Pick 29 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick104 Rnd4 Connor Lew
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 104th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan at slot 143 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181 Rnd5 Caleb Douglas
Caleb Douglas in pick No. 181 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Febechi Nwaiwu
Febechi Nwaiwu at pick 183 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
They paid sticker price for Jimmy Rolder in Round 7, Pick 1, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
