Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureF
Grand theft in pick No. 124: the Cardinals steal Washington Jr. and grade out a F.

The Cardinals lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

The Washington Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The cost of the Proctor reach is exactly the players who went right after him. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 David Bailey
In pick 3 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the 6th overall pick they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick12 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 12 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in slot 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65 Rnd3 CJ Allen
The board fumbled CJ Allen all the way to the 65th pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
They robbed the room for Zakee Wheatley here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Somehow Mike Washington Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 124, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
Fair-plus on DeMonte Capehart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost at slot 183 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
By-the-book stuff, Jimmy Rolder at No. 217 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
