Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB-
A franchise passer in Simpson headlines a B+ weekend for the Cardinals. The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Toriano Pride Jr. at No. 95 regardless, 111 picks early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
The whole projection now runs through Ty Simpson; hit there and everything else looks smarter. That Bernard pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In the 19th pick they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Ty Simpson
In pick 20 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles slipping to slot 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick35
Rnd2
Zion Young
They paid a round early for Zion Young in pick No. 35, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick36
Rnd2
Caleb Lomu
Caleb Lomu in Round 2, Pick 4 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
A tidy little value on Dillon Thieneman in No. 37, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick38
Rnd2
Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at No. 38 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emmanuel Pregnon in the 39th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40
Rnd2
Eli Stowers
They jumped the gun on Eli Stowers, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick43
Rnd2
Elijah Sarratt
A reach on Elijah Sarratt in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
They robbed the room for Kayden McDonald here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick46
Rnd2
D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at pick No. 46 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick51
Rnd2
Christen Miller
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 19 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick52
Rnd2
Chris Brazzell II
They let Chris Brazzell II come to them and pounced at pick 52. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65
Rnd3
Monroe Freeling
You do not let an offensive lineman like Monroe Freeling reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
They paid sticker price for Malachi Fields in the 69th overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Max Iheanachor
They read the board right and Max Iheanachor was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 8. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73
Rnd3
Nadame Tucker
They reached into another round for Nadame Tucker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 74th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85
Rnd3
Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in pick 85 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez slid further than he should have, and slot 91 is lovely value for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95
Rnd3
Toriano Pride Jr.
A big swing on Toriano Pride Jr. at No. 95, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick96
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in pick No. 96 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick192
Rnd6
Zane Durant
Nice patience on Zane Durant, who had no business lasting to slot 192. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
