Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Cardinals were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

The Cardinals indulged a want in Hart while a need in quarterback and tight end stayed open. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Williams that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Adding Darren Waller by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In No. 6 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 27 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in slot 35 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A straight-up fair deal on Ruke Orhorhoro at Round 3, Pick 2, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in the 71st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Value with a capital V on Marshawn Kneeland in pick No. 90, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Cam Hart in the 104th overall pick leaves quarterback and tight end for later.
Pick138 Rnd5 James Williams
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where James Williams graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. is a better player than slot 162 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
