Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesC- FutureB+
Grand theft in the Round 4 slot: the Cardinals steal Moore and grade out a B-.

The Cardinals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Devin Moore fell into No. 104.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Nothing to complain about; CJ Allen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Devin Moore
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Devin Moore in slot 104, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick141 Rnd5 Logan Jones
Logan Jones is a better player than Round 5, Pick 3 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Zane Durant
Zane Durant in pick 181 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
No drama and no debate, Jimmy Rolder went about where he belonged in the 217th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at pick No. 244 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
