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

Every other box got a look, but offensive lineman did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Deontae Lawson
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Zane Durant
By-the-book stuff, Zane Durant at No. 49 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in slot 81 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jackson Arnold
Jackson Arnold at the 156th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss at pick 195 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 London Humphreys
No edge and no loss on London Humphreys in the 230th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
