Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in Dart, and a D, for the Cardinals.

Somebody took the Cardinals to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

The whole projection now runs through Jaxson Dart; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Dart has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Hamilton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at pick 10 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A quiet steal in No. 41: Jalon Walker for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
They paid up for Shemar Turner at slot 72 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tai Felton
They read the board right and Tai Felton was the payoff at the 110th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
The board fumbled Ty Hamilton all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Nice patience on Ajani Cornelius, who had no business lasting to the 186th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
They paid sticker price for Alijah Huzzie in pick No. 224, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
