Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 162nd pick on Shaun Dolac a full 144 spots early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

Landing Collins that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Mike Green
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Green at pick 41 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick47 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
No edge and no loss on JT Tuimoloau in slot 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 48 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at No. 63 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick78 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 78th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Demetrius Knight Jr. reach Round 3, Pick 25 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at slot 93 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jayden Higgins still on the board at the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard at the 95th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They took Cam Skattebo at par in the 96th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at pick 97 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at No. 114 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
A reach for Aeneas Peebles in Round 4, Pick 25; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A real head-scratcher, Cobee Bryant in pick No. 127 is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick129 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty Robinson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 David Walker
David Walker in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A tidy bit of business in the 131st pick, where Luke Kandra graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at pick 132 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
The board had cheaper options than Bhayshul Tuten at No. 133, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
The board fumbled Denzel Burke all the way to pick No. 136, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick138 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Steal is underselling it; Lathan Ransom at Round 4, Pick 37 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick146 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 146th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 148th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Somehow Jordan Phillips was still sitting there in slot 149, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tory Horton
They robbed the room for Tory Horton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in Round 5, Pick 14 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Circle this one: Joshua Farmer at pick No. 160 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac in pick 162 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
