Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Nadame Tucker at the Round 3 slot is 84 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Getting Cisse where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The veteran additions, Emeka Egbuka chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 3rd overall pick they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 15th pick they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Value with a capital V on Kenyon Sadiq in No. 33, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick34 Rnd2 Zion Young
A conviction pick on Zion Young at pick 34 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick35 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Nothing to complain about; Dillon Thieneman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick41 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier at pick No. 41 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon is a better player than No. 47 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Brandon Cisse
They robbed the room for Brandon Cisse here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick66 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in the 66th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Nice patience on Josiah Trotter, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 9. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in pick No. 74 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
A tidy little value on Dontay Corleone in slot 76, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Nadame Tucker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nadame Tucker this early at the 83rd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
