Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B.

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cardinals will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Landing Colson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Reaching for Eboigbe left real value on the table behind him. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at pick 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Value with a capital V on Junior Colson in the 66th overall pick, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
They did well to land Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 71, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the 90th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Mahogany in pick No. 104. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
A premium they did not need to pay, Justin Eboigbe a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They took Tykee Smith at par in slot 162, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
