Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cardinals lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cardinals did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

Reaching for Kearney left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, wide receiver very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value.
Pick18 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In the 18th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in No. 39 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at slot 70 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
Nothing to complain about; A.J. Harris went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick105 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
A slide stopped in pick No. 105, with Nicholas Singleton worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Charles Jagusah well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
They took Makhi Hughes at par in pick 211, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They jumped the gun on Trey Zuhn III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
A big swing on Roderick Kearney at slot 224, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
