Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B.

Every other box got a look, but tight end did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Robinson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
They did well to land Marvin Harrison Jr. in the 4th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick26 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chop Robinson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adisa Isaac in Round 3, Pick 2. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Nothing to complain about; Marist Liufau went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at the 101st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
A tidy little value on Spencer Rattler in pick 104, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 133 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in slot 140 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick168 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
They took Frank Gore Jr. at par in Round 5, Pick 32, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick225 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Good price on Steele Chambers in the 225th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
No drama and no debate, Trevor Keegan went about where he belonged in No. 227. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
