Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

TradesF
FutureB-
The Cardinals bled value on every deal, hence the C. The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Shaun Dolac at pick 135 regardless, 180 picks early.
On value alone, Loveland makes the weekend a net positive. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
Good price on Wyatt Milum in pick No. 38, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jack Sawyer
They read the board right and Jack Sawyer was the payoff at No. 39. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach Round 2, Pick 8 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick55
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick 55 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
By-the-book stuff, Jaxson Dart at slot 60 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick61
Rnd2
Armand Membou
Armand Membou in slot 61 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the 69th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick78
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in No. 78 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at pick No. 81 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in Round 3, Pick 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at the 105th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jack Bech
Circle this one: Jack Bech at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick 114 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115
Rnd4
Carson Schwesinger
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Carson Schwesinger in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118
Rnd4
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick No. 118 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
A tight end of that caliber at the 119th pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122
Rnd4
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in Round 4, Pick 21 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick125
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A big swing on Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 125th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jayden Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jayden Higgins still on the board at slot 129. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132
Rnd4
Charles Grant
Steal is underselling it; Charles Grant at pick 132 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at No. 133 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick134
Rnd4
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135
Rnd4
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac in the 135th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138
Rnd4
Bhayshul Tuten
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bhayshul Tuten in Round 4, Pick 37, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139
Rnd4
RJ Harvey
They talked themselves into RJ Harvey at slot 139, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
