Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on White III: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cardinals watched Ricky White III slide 28 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Dippre lower, and that gap is the story.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 16 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 47 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They took Isaiah Bond at par in Round 3, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at the 152nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
A reach for CJ Dippre in No. 225; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ricky White III in slot 242, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
