Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cardinals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

It is not that Carson is a bad player; it is that the Cardinals had louder needs to answer first. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The cost of the Fiske reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 18th pick they get a load in the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 27 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They jumped the gun on Braden Fiske, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Worthy in No. 66. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They let Kingsley Suamataia come to them and pounced at pick No. 71. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Michael Hall Jr. in the 80th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in pick 90 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 4: Caelen Carson adds a cornerback while quarterback, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
