Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Shaun Dolac at No. 190 is 147 spots clear of where he belonged.

Getting Belton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
Kelvin Banks Jr. slid further than he should have, and the Round 1 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick No. 20 they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick 21 they get an anchor for the defensive front, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in No. 54 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in Round 2, Pick 26, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Fair-plus on Carson Schwesinger, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cam Skattebo in the 96th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
They jumped the gun on Jordan Phillips, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Will Howard
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 13: Will Howard for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 122nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in pick 139 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Malachi Moore. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick150 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in slot 150 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Steal is underselling it; Anthony Belton at No. 151 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Nice patience on Logan Brown, who had no business lasting to the 160th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nick Nash in the 161st pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Shaun Dolac
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shaun Dolac in pick No. 190, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at pick 237 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
