Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took J.J. Weaver at No. 225 regardless, 159 picks early. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In No. 16 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at slot 47 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 78th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A wild overpay on Ty Robinson in pick No. 115, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They reached into another round for KeAndre Lambert-Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
They left a pile of value on the table to take J.J. Weaver this early at the 225th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
