Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals found their guy under center in Simpson: B+.

The Cardinals spent the pick that matters most on Ty Simpson, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If Bisontis pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Tyson.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 15 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the 17th pick they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a passer to set the clock by, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Fair-plus on Dillon Thieneman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick35 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
Joshua Josephs in pick 35 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in slot 36 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson at pick No. 38 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Colton Hood
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Colton Hood at the Round 2 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick41 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
They paid sticker price for Caleb Banks in Round 2, Pick 9, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick42 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
By-the-book stuff, Lee Hunter at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58 Rnd2 LT Overton
A reach for LT Overton in slot 58; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
