Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Cole Payton. He came off 85 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

On value alone, Bell makes the weekend a net positive. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a featured back. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at pick No. 34 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick36 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
A real head-scratcher, Caleb Tiernan in slot 36 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They took Emmanuel Pregnon at par in No. 37, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in the 73rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick74 Rnd3 LT Overton
LT Overton in pick 74 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
No edge and no loss on Kamari Ramsey in pick No. 75; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Anthony Hill Jr.
Circle this one: Anthony Hill Jr. at the 76th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100 Rnd3 Chris Bell
You do not let a wide receiver like Chris Bell reach slot 100 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in No. 104 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Christen Miller
Somehow Christen Miller was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jake Slaughter
Taking Jake Slaughter in the 109th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Drew Shelton
Value with a capital V on Drew Shelton in pick 110, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jake Golday
They barely believed it either: Jake Golday still on the board at Round 4, Pick 11. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bryce Lance at the 112th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at the 117th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They reached into another round for Kevin Coleman Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
