Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The Cardinals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Shaun Dolac at No. 131 is 170 spots clear of where he belonged. The final tally is a middling C.

The Warren steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart at pick 38 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at the 47th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick48 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in Round 2, Pick 16 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at No. 54 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in slot 70 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A straight-up fair deal on Tate Ratledge at Round 3, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Taking Elic Ayomanor in the 78th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
The board fumbled Jaxson Dart all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
You do not let a cornerback like Azareye'h Thomas reach the 82nd pick and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick88 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
A tidy little value on Aeneas Peebles in pick 88, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A quiet steal in slot 98: Donovan Jackson for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Simon this early at pick No. 106. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114 Rnd4 David Walker
David Walker at No. 114 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Charles Grant
They read the board right and Charles Grant was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They took Luke Kandra at par in the 119th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They let Jordan Phillips come to them and pounced at the 123rd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at Round 4, Pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
By-the-book stuff, Shemar Turner at pick 125 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick No. 126 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick128 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in slot 128 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They liked Rylie Mills enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 129. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tonka Hemingway
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tonka Hemingway well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Shaun Dolac
A big swing on Shaun Dolac at pick 131, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at pick No. 132 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 135 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ricky White III in the 238th pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
