Draft Grade — Cardinals

Grand theft in Round 3, Pick 3: the Cardinals steal Slaughter and grade out a B.

The board owed the Cardinals one, and it paid up: Jake Slaughter, the No. 43 name on the board, sitting there at the 67th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the 5th overall pick they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Colton Hood
A straight-up fair deal on Colton Hood at pick No. 36, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Somehow Jake Slaughter was still sitting there in No. 67, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Fair-plus on Genesis Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eric Rivers. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
They paid sticker price for Trinidad Chambliss in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at pick 219 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
