Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Cardinals clearly saw something nobody else did in Nadame Tucker, taking him 82 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The McDonald pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The veteran additions, Emeka Egbuka chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value.
Pick17 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
Fair-plus on Spencer Fano, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick20 Rnd1 Zion Young
In pick No. 20 they get juice off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
By-the-book stuff, Emmanuel Pregnon at slot 33 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenyon Sadiq at pick 34 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick35 Rnd2 Colton Hood
Colton Hood slid further than he should have, and the 35th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick40 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
A wild overpay on Garrett Nussmeier in pick No. 40, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
They will replay Kayden McDonald at pick 50 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at No. 57 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick60 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 28 with a little surplus value in Omar Cooper Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
They took Jonah Coleman at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
They robbed the room for Lee Hunter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Blake Miller slipping to the 67th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at slot 68 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields in the 84th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in No. 85 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Nadame Tucker
A real head-scratcher, Nadame Tucker in pick No. 86 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
