Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Cardinals won the night they stopped Anderson from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Aaron Anderson, the No. 164 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 3. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Goosby lower, and that gap is the story.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 12 they get a lead back with juice. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Christen Miller
In pick No. 24 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
They paid a round early for Trevor Goosby in Round 2, Pick 4, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at slot 67 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Nothing to complain about; Kaytron Allen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the 144th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Gunner Stockton
Gunner Stockton in No. 162 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kage Casey
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 185th pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd7 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in the 219th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
