Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Carson Beck at Round 3, Pick 4 is 53 spots clear of where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Getting Sadiq where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Emeka Egbuka leading the way. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 18 they get a featured back, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 20th pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chase Bisontis
A big swing on Chase Bisontis at pick 34, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35 Rnd2 Blake Miller
The board had cheaper options than Blake Miller at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in No. 36 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick38 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
They took Brandon Cisse at par in Round 2, Pick 6, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
By-the-book stuff, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at No. 39 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick52 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
A premium they did not need to pay, Derrick Moore a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston at pick No. 65 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kenyon Sadiq
You do not let a tight end like Kenyon Sadiq reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Carson Beck
They left a pile of value on the table to take Carson Beck this early at the 68th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at the 69th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
