Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cardinals did exactly that with Willie Lampkin in the 78th overall pick.

However the rest shakes out, Warren at that price is a win they earned. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 23rd pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In pick 24 they get a building block for the line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In No. 25 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in Round 2, Pick 1 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They talked themselves into Jayden Higgins at pick No. 37, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
No edge and no loss on Jack Sawyer in No. 53; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Willie Lampkin
A wild overpay on Willie Lampkin in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
The board had Carson Schwesinger higher than pick 81, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick No. 82 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
