Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cardinals bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The tape said wait; the Cardinals did not. Evan Stewart went at slot 105, a good 96 picks before the board was ready. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the back end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
Caleb Lomu at Round 2, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick No. 40 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70 Rnd3 Diego Pavia
Value said wait; Diego Pavia in the 70th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at No. 105 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eric Rivers. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jermaine Mathews Jr. went about where he belonged in the 186th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick221 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roderick Kearney. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
