Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Thieneman: B.

The Cardinals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dillon Thieneman fell into the 65th pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The White reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
Francis Mauigoa in pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kayden McDonald at slot 34. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
They barely believed it either: Dillon Thieneman still on the board at pick No. 65. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick104 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at Round 4, Pick 4 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick142 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson in the 142nd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
A tidy little value on Sawyer Robertson in No. 182, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jordan White
They liked Jordan White enough to skip the value, taking him in the 217th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
