Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Pat Coogan at pick 225 is 29 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Maiava. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at No. 42 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jayden Maiava
You do not let a quarterback like Jayden Maiava reach pick No. 73 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 11: Chandler Rivers for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick150 Rnd5 Eugene Wilson III
Circle this one: Eugene Wilson III at the 150th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
A premium they did not need to pay, Rayshaun Benny a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at Round 7, Pick 11 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
