Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals did not so much draft Isaiah World as overpay for him, 43 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Slaughter steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
They took Caleb Downs at par in Round 1, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick34 Rnd2 Isaiah World
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaiah World this early at the 34th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Somehow Jake Slaughter was still sitting there in No. 65, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 104 with a little surplus value in Daylen Everette. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
No edge and no loss on DeMonte Capehart in the 141st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Brenen Thompson
Circle this one: Brenen Thompson at slot 181 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Conner Weigman
A slide stopped in the 217th overall pick, with Conner Weigman worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
