Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B.

Nobody had Taylen Green this high, and it is not close. The Cardinals reached 63 spots to get him at No. 123.

They banked enough surplus on Orange to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 David Bailey
In slot 3 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick15 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Monroe Freeling
Nothing to complain about; Monroe Freeling went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
No edge and no loss on Dillon Thieneman in the 35th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick36 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
They paid sticker price for Akheem Mesidor in No. 36, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick37 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 37, where Olaivavega Ioane graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller in pick No. 60 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick61 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and D'Angelo Ponds at pick 61 is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick65 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Blake Miller is a better player than No. 65 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
They robbed the room for Germie Bernard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at Round 3, Pick 30 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at the 96th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They barely believed it either: Jacob Rodriguez still on the board at the 97th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dani Dennis-Sutton
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Dani Dennis-Sutton worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Steal is underselling it; Connor Lew at pick No. 101 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They paid a round early for Bryce Lance in pick 103, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Taylen Green
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Taylen Green well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nadame Tucker this early at slot 126. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Domonique Orange
They will replay Domonique Orange at No. 129 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130 Rnd4 Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton at the 130th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
