Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals won the night they stopped Ponds from sliding. Grade: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past.

The Ponds steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Christen Miller
No drama and no debate, Christen Miller went about where he belonged in pick 34. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
Taking D'Angelo Ponds in No. 65 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick104 Rnd4 Sam Roush
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sam Roush at the 104th overall pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
They paid sticker price for Jaeden Roberts in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jalen Stroman
Jalen Stroman is a better player than pick No. 181 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick217 Rnd7 Dane Key
Dane Key at pick 217 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
