Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Cardinals spent their marquee pick on Dante Moore, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

Stockton has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Slaughter.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Dante Moore
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dante Moore. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick34 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
Value said wait; Trevor Goosby in the 34th pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at No. 65 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Gunner Stockton
Gunner Stockton at Round 5, Pick 3 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
A big swing on Sawyer Robertson at pick No. 183, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Bud Clark
Fair-plus on Bud Clark, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
