Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in slot 89: the Cardinals steal Worthy and grade out a A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Xavier Worthy had no business being available in No. 89, and the Cardinals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

The cost of the Robinson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 24th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
By-the-book stuff, Troy Fautanu at No. 26 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick35 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 3 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: McKinnley Jackson in the 66th overall pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Circle this one: Xavier Worthy at pick No. 89 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in slot 104 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Layden Robinson
They talked themselves into Layden Robinson at pick 133, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 140 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick188 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick 188 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at No. 225 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau in pick No. 227 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
