Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on TJ Ferguson; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 74 spots ahead at the 230th overall pick.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Sarratt. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 6 they get a two-high chess piece. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christen Miller. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at slot 49 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
They barely believed it either: Elijah Sarratt still on the board at No. 82. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 DJ Harvey
They paid sticker price for DJ Harvey in Round 4, Pick 15, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick156 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at Round 5, Pick 18 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Tosh Baker
They reached into another round for Tosh Baker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 TJ Ferguson
TJ Ferguson at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
