Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+. The Drew Allar selection is the head-turner. The Cardinals reached 46 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Styles steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 17 they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Blake Miller
A reach on Blake Miller in No. 33; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick35
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Olaivavega Ioane at Round 2, Pick 3. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36
Rnd2
R Mason Thomas
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on R Mason Thomas. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick37
Rnd2
Peter Woods
Fair-plus on Peter Woods, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick39
Rnd2
Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson in the 39th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick40
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at slot 40. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
They let Lee Hunter come to them and pounced at No. 65. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66
Rnd3
Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in pick 66 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
A premium they did not need to pay, Malachi Fields a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112
Rnd4
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in Round 4, Pick 12 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Gracen Halton
By-the-book stuff, Gracen Halton at the 129th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
