Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

TradesF
FutureD
The Cardinals bet the future on Moore. The board says C-. The search is over. The Cardinals handed the keys to Dante Moore, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A mixed bag that lands at C-.
The Rodriguez pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Klare at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Dante Moore
In pick No. 4 they get their quarterback of the future. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick14
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
Nothing to complain about; Jeremiyah Love went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick15
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Arvell Reese
They will replay Arvell Reese at the 33rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Value with a capital V on Kayden McDonald in slot 35, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick36
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
They took Olaivavega Ioane at par in No. 36, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Dontay Corleone
No edge and no loss on Dontay Corleone in Round 2, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kamari Ramsey
Steal is underselling it; Kamari Ramsey at pick 65 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ja'Kobi Lane
Circle this one: Ja'Kobi Lane at the 66th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67
Rnd3
Emmanuel Pregnon
They robbed the room for Emmanuel Pregnon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68
Rnd3
Connor Lew
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Connor Lew in pick 68. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89
Rnd3
Keith Abney II
They barely believed it either: Keith Abney II still on the board at slot 89. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick101
Rnd4
Max Klare
Somehow Max Klare was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111
Rnd4
Brian Parker II
You do not let an offensive lineman like Brian Parker II reach No. 111 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
They talked themselves into Jacob Rodriguez at Round 4, Pick 21, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
