Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a D, for the Cardinals.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cardinals shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. They are betting Okie-Anoma proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Landing Rakestraw Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick6 Rnd1 Joe Alt
Joe Alt at Round 1, Pick 6 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the 27th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at pick 35 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at No. 66 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at slot 90 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 105th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in pick 137 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A straight-up fair deal on Javion Cohen at slot 161, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 13: Ty'Ron Hopper for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Myles Murphy
They did well to land Myles Murphy in pick No. 224, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A real head-scratcher, Eyabi Okie-Anoma in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
