Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Sellers is the Cardinals' new face under center. Grade: B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Cardinals committed. LaNorris Sellers is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

Every board in the league had Collins lower, and that gap is the story. The Hughes pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 LaNorris Sellers
In No. 17 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jaeden Roberts
A real head-scratcher, Jaeden Roberts in Round 2, Pick 17 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Makhi Hughes
Taking Makhi Hughes in pick 81 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Bryce Boettcher
A premium they did not need to pay, Bryce Boettcher a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick156 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Isaac Smith at the 156th pick is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A slide stopped in slot 195, with Trey Zuhn III worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Thomas Collins
Thomas Collins at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
