Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B.

Nobody had Shaun Dolac this high, and it is not close. The Cardinals reached 211 spots to get him at slot 129. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Arroyo. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 15 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 20th pick they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 22nd overall pick they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jayden Higgins
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalon Walker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick51 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 19 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in No. 52 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to pick No. 57, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger is a better player than slot 78 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They reached into another round for Cam Skattebo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A tidy bit of business in the 86th pick, where Tate Ratledge graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at pick 87 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in the 88th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ozzy Trapilo at Round 3, Pick 32 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tai Felton
By-the-book stuff, Tai Felton at pick No. 100 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
This one needs a full-page explanation: Rylie Mills in the Round 4 slot, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
They paid sticker price for Billy Bowman Jr. in No. 114, and that is fine. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in pick 115 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 120th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 David Walker
Nice patience on David Walker, who had no business lasting to the 125th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Savion Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Savion Williams reach No. 126 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at the 129th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
