Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-.

The Brandon Coleman pick is the one that will follow the Cardinals into the fall. They took him 35 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Murphy II pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers in slot 4 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 27th overall pick they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A real head-scratcher, Kiran Amegadjie in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in Round 3, Pick 2 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Max Melton
A tidy little value on Max Melton in the 71st pick, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
They paid sticker price for Jonah Elliss in pick 82, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They liked Gabriel Murphy enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 90. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
Value said wait; Brennan Jackson in the 104th overall pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in the 138th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 162 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
No drama and no debate, Delmar Glaze went about where he belonged in No. 191. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at Round 7, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
