Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Walker should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jalon Walker had no business being available in pick No. 81, and the Cardinals did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Every board in the league had Caldwell lower, and that gap is the story. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel in pick 22 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick23 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 23rd pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 33rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at Round 2, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick36 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
No edge and no loss on Landon Jackson in slot 36; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick37 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Shavon Revel Jr. in pick No. 37. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They went early on Jayden Higgins in No. 40, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Savaiinaea at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at No. 42 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick46 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A wild overpay on Donovan Jackson in the 46th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at slot 47 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick48 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shemar Turner. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick49 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in pick 49 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Skattebo this early at Round 3, Pick 1. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to the 66th pick, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick78 Rnd3 Darien Porter
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 78 on Darien Porter with quarterback unsolved.
Pick79 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger slid further than he should have, and No. 79 is lovely value for the linebacker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jamaree Caldwell
They reached into another round for Jamaree Caldwell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick 81 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
