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

The Cardinals spent real capital to be 245 picks early on Jared Brown, and the board is going to hold them to it.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Jude Bowry
They talked themselves into Jude Bowry at pick 49, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in the 104th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick161 Rnd5 Bishop Fitzgerald
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Bishop Fitzgerald in Round 5, Pick 23, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick181 Rnd6 D'Angelo Ponds
They will replay D'Angelo Ponds at the 181st pick for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jared Brown
They reached into another round for Jared Brown, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
