Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
Grand theft in the 187th pick: the Cardinals steal Arroyo and grade out a B+.

The Cardinals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Elijah Arroyo fell into pick No. 187. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Reaching for Roberts left real value on the table behind him.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 18th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 25th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Mike Green
Mike Green at pick 47 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A reach for Donovan Jackson in No. 78; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in Round 3, Pick 17 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick114 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Kandra. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jaxson Dart
A quarterback 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.
Pick127 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 127 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They will replay Tez Johnson at slot 137 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Raheim Sanders at pick 153, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Ty Robinson at the 167th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at pick No. 173 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
Steal is underselling it; Elijah Arroyo at Round 6, Pick 9 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ricky White III
They barely believed it either: Ricky White III still on the board at the 236th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
