Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Williams: B.

When a board-topper like Antonio Williams slides to slot 109, you do not overthink it, and the Cardinals did not.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Hobbs reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In pick No. 9 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Anthony Hill Jr.. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jayden Maiava
A quarterback of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 7 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Antonio Williams
They will replay Antonio Williams at the 109th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis is a better player than slot 148 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
Nothing to complain about; Antonio Kite went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick224 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
A big swing on Daevin Hobbs at the 224th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
