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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cardinals reached some 72 spots for Kevin Coleman Jr., and value like that does not grow back.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Slaughter. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 David Bailey
In the 12th pick they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 17th overall pick they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Sonny Styles worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick34 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
Caleb Lomu at slot 34 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Zion Young
A reach on Zion Young in pick 35; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A quiet steal in pick No. 36: Olaivavega Ioane for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Avieon Terrell
Avieon Terrell in Round 2, Pick 8 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick43 Rnd2 Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate at pick No. 43 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Christen Miller
Circle this one: Christen Miller at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers is a better player than No. 66 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
No drama and no debate, Dontay Corleone went about where he belonged in the 67th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Somehow A.J. Haulcy was still sitting there in the 68th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick81 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at pick 81 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kevin Coleman Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jake Slaughter
They barely believed it either: Jake Slaughter still on the board at pick No. 102. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the 103rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Carson Beck
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Carson Beck. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
