Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cardinals to a D.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for J.J. Weaver, 159 picks ahead of schedule. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Skattebo.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
The board had cheaper options than Jihaad Campbell at the 23rd pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the 33rd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They jumped the gun on Tre Harris, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 14, with Tate Ratledge worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They liked Zy Alexander enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
The board had Cam Skattebo higher than pick 115, and the running back fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Fair-plus on Joshua Farmer, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They went early on Seth McLaughlin in the 150th pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A quiet steal in pick No. 152: Malachi Moore for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick198 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
They reached into another round for Isaac TeSlaa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A big swing on J.J. Weaver at slot 224, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
No drama and no debate, Carson Vinson went about where he belonged in No. 225. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
