Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Drew Allar, 86 picks early at the 71st overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. On value alone, Brazzell II makes the weekend a net positive. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In No. 12 they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick22 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 22nd overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value.
Pick33 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at pick No. 33 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick35 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They let Olaivavega Ioane come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
They paid sticker price for Akheem Mesidor in slot 37, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Good price on Dillon Thieneman in Round 2, Pick 7, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick42 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at No. 42 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick43 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in the 43rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
Chris Brazzell II slid further than he should have, and slot 45 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick46 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brandon Cisse at the 46th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick47 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
No drama and no debate, Eli Stowers went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 15. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
They jumped the gun on Malachi Fields, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
By-the-book stuff, Jacob Rodriguez at pick 66 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
They liked Elijah Sarratt enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Christen Miller
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christen Miller in the Round 3 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at the 69th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ted Hurst this early at Round 3, Pick 6. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Drew Allar
They talked themselves into Drew Allar at pick 71, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
