Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cardinals took Bud Clark at pick 106, roughly 81 spots before his name belonged.

The Lew steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. 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
Pick11 Rnd1 David Bailey
In slot 11 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick15 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
A slide stopped in the 15th overall pick, with Francis Mauigoa worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick33 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
They will replay Arvell Reese at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
They reached into another round for Akheem Mesidor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman in the 40th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick48 Rnd2 Colton Hood
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Colton Hood in pick 48, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick54 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
A straight-up fair deal on Gennings Dunker at the 54th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Lee Hunter in slot 65. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields in No. 68 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Zion Young
Steal is underselling it; Zion Young at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier at Round 3, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Value with a capital V on Eli Stowers in the 72nd pick, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Isaiah World
A tidy little value on Isaiah World in pick 84, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 99 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They reached a country mile for Kevin Coleman Jr. at pick No. 102, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Connor Lew
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 3 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle Louis. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at pick 106 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick107 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Scott at the 107th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick109 Rnd4 Xavier Nwankpa
A big swing on Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
