Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cardinals reached some 66 spots for Jaheim Bell, and value like that does not grow back.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick 17 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A wild overpay on Cam Hart in the 67th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 71st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Davis at Round 4, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They jumped the gun on Sataoa Laumea, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylin Simpson. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick190 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They paid a round early for Curtis Jacobs in pick 190, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the 225th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Harrell in No. 226, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
