Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cardinals reached some 73 spots for Taylen Green, and value like that does not grow back.

Bernard falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 20th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
They took Jadarian Price at par in pick No. 65, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 92 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A tidy little value on Jalon Kilgore in Round 4, Pick 4, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick112 Rnd4 Taylen Green
A big swing on Taylen Green at the 112th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Charles Demmings. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick183 Rnd6 Keyshaun Elliott
Value said wait; Keyshaun Elliott in slot 183 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in pick 217 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
