Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Taaffe: A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Cardinals came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

The Taaffe pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In the end it comes back to Francis Mauigoa, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the 3rd overall pick they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at Round 3, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick104 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Sam Hecht in No. 104, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
A tidy little value on Dametrious Crownover in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
The board had Domani Jackson higher than pick No. 163, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick181 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at slot 181 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Dane Key
Nothing to complain about; Dane Key went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Fair-plus on Jalon Daniels, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DJ Harvey at slot 241. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
