Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B+ for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 225 on Jarquez Hunter a full 53 spots early. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Andrew Billings pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Eboigbe.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 9 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at pick 35 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at No. 66 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A conviction pick on Christian Haynes at the 71st pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Value said wait; Marshawn Kneeland in Round 3, Pick 22 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 104th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in the 125th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick133 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in pick 140, a step better than break-even. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe is a better player than Round 6, Pick 13 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at slot 225 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
They talked themselves into Jordan Whittington at pick No. 227, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
