Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

TradesB-
FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B. The Cardinals' one glaring miss is wide receiver, a need they left exactly as they found it.
The Easter pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
In pick 8 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Anthony Hill Jr. in the 39th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cade Klubnik
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Klubnik at slot 70, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105
Rnd4
C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite at No. 105 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144
Rnd5
Sammy Omosigho
They went early on Sammy Omosigho in the 144th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Nwankpa. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick222
Rnd7
Shamar Easter
They reached a country mile for Shamar Easter at Round 7, Pick 7, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
