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

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If Moten pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Getting McDonald where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kayden McDonald at pick 41. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
By-the-book stuff, A.J. Haulcy at slot 72 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick110 Rnd4 Brendan Sorsby
Brendan Sorsby in pick No. 110 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
No edge and no loss on Nic Anderson in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Josh Moten
They paid up for Josh Moten at the 186th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick224 Rnd7 Amare Campbell
A reach on Amare Campbell in the 224th pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
