Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureF
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-. The Nadame Tucker pick is the one that will follow the Cardinals into the fall. They took him 60 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
On value alone, Miller makes the weekend a net positive. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In No. 3 they get the heartbeat of the defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ty Simpson
Ty Simpson in pick 34 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35
Rnd2
Caleb Lomu
Good price on Caleb Lomu in the 35th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36
Rnd2
Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in pick No. 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick72
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
You do not let a cornerback like D'Angelo Ponds reach slot 72 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80
Rnd3
Gennings Dunker
They robbed the room for Gennings Dunker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
The board fumbled Lee Hunter all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82
Rnd3
Mike Washington Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 82nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Mike Washington Jr.. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101
Rnd4
Blake Miller
Steal is underselling it; Blake Miller at Round 4, Pick 1 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102
Rnd4
Josiah Trotter
They will replay Josiah Trotter at the 102nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115
Rnd4
Gracen Halton
They liked Gracen Halton enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 115. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeMonte Capehart. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at slot 117 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141
Rnd5
Bryce Lance
They barely believed it either: Bryce Lance still on the board at the Round 5 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Kevin Coleman Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kevin Coleman Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
