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

The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Keyron Crawford, 89 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Reese.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
Francis Mauigoa in slot 3 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick34 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
They barely believed it either: Arvell Reese still on the board at the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Derrick Moore well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the 104th pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kaytron Allen at Round 4, Pick 5. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at No. 107 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick108 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
They jumped the gun on Keylan Rutledge, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in slot 109 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
A reach on Jakobe Thomas in pick No. 110; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick111 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
Value said wait; Max Iheanachor in pick 111 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
They went early on Skyler Gill-Howard in the 124th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the 139th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Keyron Crawford
A real head-scratcher, Keyron Crawford in No. 140 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Connor Tollison
They paid up for Connor Tollison at pick No. 143 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
