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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Vernon Broughton in the 114th pick, a good 43 spots before the room expected him.

On value alone, Dart makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 16 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Fair-plus on Jihaad Campbell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
The board fumbled Jaxson Dart all the way to pick 78, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Value said wait; Vernon Broughton in Round 4, Pick 13 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at No. 153 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
