Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Lew: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Connor Lew slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at the 71st pick. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Kearney pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 9 they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40 Rnd2 Isaiah World
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah World at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in pick 71 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Brendan Sorsby
Brendan Sorsby at slot 106 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
They paid sticker price for Nic Anderson in Round 5, Pick 9, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 Zane Durant
Fair-plus on Zane Durant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roderick Kearney well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
