Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Emery Jones Jr. a full 30 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That Knight Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 16th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
Quietly one of the better values of the day, T.J. Sanders at pick 47. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick78 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick No. 78 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They reached into another round for Emery Jones Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
They jumped the gun on Alex Mastromanno, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
