Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Carter should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Barrett Carter, pick 151, roughly 69 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Every board in the league had Dart lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Value with a capital V on Tetairoa McMillan in slot 16, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
They went early on Grey Zabel in No. 47, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaxson Dart in the 78th overall pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Chase Lundt well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at Round 5, Pick 14 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
