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

The war room fell hard for Drew Allar, and it showed at slot 71: 88 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Sadiq at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 12 they get the heartbeat of the defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In the 27th overall pick they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33 Rnd2 Malachi Lawrence
This one needs a full-page explanation: Malachi Lawrence in pick No. 33, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chase Bisontis
They talked themselves into Chase Bisontis at the 34th pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald slipping to Round 2, Pick 3 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter is a better player than Round 3, Pick 2 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kenyon Sadiq
They robbed the room for Kenyon Sadiq here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at No. 68 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
They let Jadarian Price come to them and pounced at the 69th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70 Rnd3 Christen Miller
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christen Miller in pick No. 70. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Value said wait; Drew Allar in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Circle this one: Germie Bernard at slot 91 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
