Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals drew a line under the quarterback search with Dart: B+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cardinals took Shaun Dolac at pick No. 131, roughly 209 spots before his name belonged. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Everything downstream of Jaxson Dart depends on Jaxson Dart, and the building knows it. Royals falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 17 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 18 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick21 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 21st overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jayden Higgins
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A real need, handled.
Pick25 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick26 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
They liked Jaxson Dart enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 26. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in pick No. 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 38 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 7 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
No edge and no loss on Donovan Ezeiruaku in slot 51; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
A straight-up fair deal on Bradyn Swinson at the 60th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Carson Schwesinger in No. 78. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Willie Lampkin
They reached into another round for Willie Lampkin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at slot 131 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A real head-scratcher, Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 132nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at Round 4, Pick 32 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
