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

Nobody had Oscar Delp this high, and it is not close. The Cardinals reached 23 spots to get him at Round 5, Pick 29. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Reese value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Puka Nacua pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 29 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
By-the-book stuff, Olaivavega Ioane at Round 2, Pick 14 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Germie Bernard at No. 72. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Justice Haynes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Justice Haynes in pick 110. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
A reach for Max Iheanachor in the 149th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at slot 169 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bud Clark
A reach on Bud Clark in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson in pick No. 224 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
