Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a B for the Cardinals.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tyrone Tracy Jr. at slot 186 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The Anderson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 4th pick they get their quarterback of the future. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
No edge and no loss on Graham Barton in the 27th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A reach on Keon Coleman in pick No. 35; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
A big swing on Bralen Trice at the 66th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
A premium they did not need to pay, Brandon Dorlus a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in the 90th overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at No. 104 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
The board fumbled Jarvis Brownlee Jr. all the way to pick 138, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick162 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They barely believed it either: Tyrone Tracy Jr. still on the board at slot 186. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Evan Anderson well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
