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

Nobody had Delmar Glaze this high, and it is not close. The Cardinals reached 33 spots to get him at the Round 5 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 27th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Junior Colson
They went early on Junior Colson in pick 35, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Nothing to complain about; Ruke Orhorhoro went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 71st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90 Rnd3 Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in No. 90 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at pick No. 104 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd5 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in Round 5, Pick 2 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
A wild overpay on Delmar Glaze in slot 162, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Williams at No. 186 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A reach on Eyabi Okie-Anoma in the 226th pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
