Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB+
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Darius Robinson at the 89th pick is 38 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

However the rest shakes out, Washington at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Spending an early pick on cornerback with interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In No. 28 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the 35th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick43 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in Round 2, Pick 11 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
They barely believed it either: Adonai Mitchell still on the board at pick 66. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Caelen Carson at cornerback with interior defensive lineman open.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick 89 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the 104th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at the 128th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Fair-plus on Sataoa Laumea, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
They did well to land Cole Bishop in Round 5, Pick 4, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick No. 145 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in No. 188 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
Nothing to complain about; Jared Wiley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
They took Joshua Gray at par in No. 227, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
