Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

ValueB

TradesA+
FutureC
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B. The Cardinals did not so much draft Cody Simon as overpay for him, 42 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
Getting Loveland where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick No. 34 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick36
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick 36 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in slot 38. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They read the board right and Jalon Walker was the payoff at the 40th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick47
Rnd2
Shavon Revel Jr.
They will replay Shavon Revel Jr. at the 47th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick54
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
A conviction pick on Wyatt Milum at pick No. 54 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
They barely believed it either: Jaxson Dart still on the board at pick 60. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Colston Loveland in the 61st overall pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65
Rnd3
Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson slipping to No. 65 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 4 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 77 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
By-the-book stuff, Shemar Turner at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
They left a pile of value on the table to take Denzel Burke this early at the 87th pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick91
Rnd3
Cody Simon
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cody Simon in the 91st overall pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
They let Andrew Mukuba come to them and pounced at the 92nd pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
