Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals answered their biggest question with Manning. Grade: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Arch Manning is the Cardinals' quarterback, full stop.

If Luckie pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Curtis.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Arch Manning
In pick No. 3 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ryan Wingo
Ryan Wingo at Round 2, Pick 2 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
They talked themselves into Nyck Harbor at slot 65, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at the 104th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Lawson Luckie
A big swing on Lawson Luckie at No. 141, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181 Rnd6 Mason Curtis
Mason Curtis is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick217 Rnd7 Charles Jagusah
A conviction pick on Charles Jagusah at pick 217 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
