Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Landing Rivers that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Daniels has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In slot 3 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Fair-plus on Dontay Corleone, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
They let A.J. Haulcy come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 1. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick104 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
A slide stopped in pick 104, with Chandler Rivers worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Malik Benson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 141 with a little surplus value in Malik Benson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Lander Barton
No drama and no debate, Lander Barton went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalon Daniels a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
