Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesD- FutureD
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cardinals to a C.

Some picks age like wine; Iapani Laloulu at slot 104 will need to, sitting 55 spots clear of his grade. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

Jackson Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

So much rides on Caleb Downs that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 8th pick they get a two-high chess piece. More want than need.
Pick39 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller is a better player than pick 39 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
No drama and no debate, Olaivavega Ioane went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 8. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in slot 43 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
Nice patience on Nyck Harbor, who had no business lasting to pick No. 65. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman slipping to the 66th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Diego Pavia
A big swing on Diego Pavia at pick 67, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cayden Green
Value said wait; Cayden Green in the 68th overall pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in slot 70 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Taking Darrell Jackson Jr. in Round 4, Pick 1 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Chase Bisontis this early at pick No. 102. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at the 103rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Iapani Laloulu well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara in pick No. 105 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the 117th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They reached into another round for Kevin Coleman Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
