Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B to prove it.

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft. No fireworks, but a solid B.

However the rest shakes out, Anderson at that price is a win they earned. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the 3rd pick they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Olaivavega Ioane at pick No. 34. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 65th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Nothing to complain about; Tacario Davis went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They took Drew Allar at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Aaron Anderson at Round 6, Pick 2 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Nwokobia. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
