Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cardinals lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The war room fell hard for Lee Hunter, and it showed at No. 34: 36 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Haulcy pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the 11th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at the 34th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A clean, defensible pick in slot 43 with a little surplus value in Sonny Styles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Nice patience on A.J. Haulcy, who had no business lasting to pick No. 65. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at Round 3, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They went early on Nicholas Singleton in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They talked themselves into Drew Allar at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 121st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick141 Rnd5 Albert Regis
They liked Albert Regis enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 141. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
They reached into another round for Bryce Foster, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They took J. Michael Sturdivant at par in No. 217, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
