Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and McCoy: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bru McCoy, the No. 184 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 226.

With tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 2 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 21st overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They paid sticker price for Kamari Lassiter in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick 66 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 6. Tight end needed the pick; a cornerback in Quinyon Mitchell did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in slot 85 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tyleik Williams
No drama and no debate, Tyleik Williams went about where he belonged in the 102nd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
They took MarShawn Lloyd at par in No. 139, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 J. Michael Sturdivant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, J. Michael Sturdivant at the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford is a better player than pick No. 198 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Value with a capital V on Joshua Gray in the 223rd pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
They robbed the room for Bru McCoy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228 Rnd7 DeWayne Carter
A tidy bit of business in slot 228, where DeWayne Carter graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
