Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B-.

The war room fell hard for Jared Ivey, and it showed at pick 47: 31 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Alexander pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 16 they get a home-run threat at receiver, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They reached a country mile for Jared Ivey at pick No. 47, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in Round 3, Pick 14 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in No. 115 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick152 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in the Round 5 slot 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.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
They paid a round early for Bilhal Kone in slot 225, more than the board wanted. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
