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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cardinals spent pick No. 104 on Kevin Coleman Jr., a name most had 62 spots down the list.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Stowers. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 12th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense. A real need, handled.
Pick20 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Blake Miller
They liked Blake Miller enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 34. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chase Bisontis
Value said wait; Chase Bisontis in slot 35 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ty Simpson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ty Simpson at Round 2, Pick 4 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 LT Overton
They paid sticker price for LT Overton in No. 65, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
The board fumbled D'Angelo Ponds all the way to pick 68, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They robbed the room for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick70 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
They will replay Lee Hunter at slot 70 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton in the 103rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kevin Coleman Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
