Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Lew should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B+.

Somebody in No. 111 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cardinals sat still while Connor Lew, the No. 62 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The veteran additions, Eric Kendricks chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In pick No. 27 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick34 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
A clean, defensible pick in the 34th pick with a little surplus value in Caleb Lomu. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe slid further than he should have, and No. 80 is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at pick 92 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brenen Thompson
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Brenen Thompson for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Connor Lew
They barely believed it either: Connor Lew still on the board at the 111th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Carson Beck
A straight-up fair deal on Carson Beck at slot 112, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
No drama and no debate, Gracen Halton went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 3. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They took Kage Casey at par in No. 156, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
By-the-book stuff, Kaleb Elarms-Orr at the 170th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Domani Jackson at the 183rd overall pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
No edge and no loss on Jaren Kanak in pick No. 217; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
Fa'alili Fa'amoe in slot 249 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jack Kelly. It fills a real need, too.
