Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Weigman should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Conner Weigman sat on the board until slot 217, and the Cardinals did not need to be asked twice.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. 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
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In slot 3 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
By-the-book stuff, Chris Brazzell II at pick 34 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 65, where Jake Slaughter graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald in No. 104 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick141 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A tidy little value on Drew Allar in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Josh Moten
No drama and no debate, Josh Moten went about where he belonged in the 181st overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick217 Rnd7 Conner Weigman
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Conner Weigman in Round 7, Pick 1, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
