Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Cardinals clearly saw something nobody else did in Shaun Dolac, taking him 114 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The Ferguson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in No. 47 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick54 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They took Donovan Ezeiruaku at par in pick 54, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in Round 3, Pick 14 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
The board fumbled Carson Schwesinger all the way to the 90th pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard at pick No. 115 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at pick 124. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 127th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They talked themselves into Kyle Williams at pick No. 152, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
They will replay Terrance Ferguson at No. 159 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Shaun Dolac
Value said wait; Shaun Dolac in the 225th pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
