Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureA
Pearsall should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ricky Pearsall, No. 71, roughly 28 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick 6 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 27 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Nothing to complain about; Kool-Aid McKinstry went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 66 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
They will replay Ricky Pearsall at the 71st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
