Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Carson. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cardinals were there to profit. Caelen Carson, the No. 94 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 162nd overall pick.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback, tight end and other spots went begging.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 4 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 28 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They barely believed it either: Cooper Beebe still on the board at the 66th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at slot 71, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Value with a capital V on Austin Booker in the 90th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A want over a need in pick 104: Kris Abrams-Draine adds a cornerback while quarterback, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick162 Rnd5 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jacob Cowing in pick 186, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
They will replay Kendall Milton at pick No. 226 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
