Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cardinals spent pick No. 186 on Devin Leary, a name most had 81 spots down the list. No fireworks, but a solid B.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Getting Knight where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 6 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A tidy little value on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 35th pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick50 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick53 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in No. 53 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick 66 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and T.J. Tampa at Round 3, Pick 6 is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick71 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They jumped the gun on Patrick Paul, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in the 90th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
No drama and no debate, Matt Goncalves went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 4. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the 138th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Cornelius Johnson at pick 162 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Devin Leary
They talked themselves into Devin Leary at pick No. 186, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in No. 226 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
