Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals bet the future on Mendoza. The board says B.

Start where it matters. The Cardinals took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lew. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In slot 9 they get the face of the franchise. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
They let Caleb Banks come to them and pounced at pick No. 40. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in the 71st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
