Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
Miller should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B-.

The Cardinals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Christen Miller fell into No. 86.

If Coleman Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 David Bailey
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Zion Young
In slot 20 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
They reached into another round for Jonah Coleman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the 37th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier at the 39th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at No. 40 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 65 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick69 Rnd3 Max Iheanachor
A conviction pick on Max Iheanachor at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A real head-scratcher, Caden Curry in the 84th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in pick No. 85 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86 Rnd3 Christen Miller
Somehow Christen Miller was still sitting there in the 86th overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd4 Malachi Fields
Taking Malachi Fields in slot 101 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
A tidy little value on Jacob Rodriguez in pick 102, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
A wild overpay on Chris McClellan in Round 4, Pick 4, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle Louis this early at the Round 4 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kevin Coleman Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
