Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Hurst: B.

When a board-topper like Ted Hurst slides to pick No. 143, you do not overthink it, and the Cardinals did not.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with edge rusher and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese in the 12th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at Round 2, Pick 1 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick34 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A quiet steal in No. 34: Olaivavega Ioane for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35 Rnd2 Peter Woods
A curious use of the 35th pick. Edge rusher and tight end needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Peter Woods did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter is a better player than pick No. 65 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Brandon Cisse
You do not let a cornerback like Brandon Cisse reach pick 72 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christen Miller
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christen Miller at slot 73 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 31, where Malachi Fields graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier in the 101st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Connor Lew
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 104 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
The board fumbled Skyler Bell all the way to the 110th pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in slot 112 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and tight end to take Genesis Smith, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick132 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Malik Muhammad while clear needs at edge rusher and tight end sat open.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
They will replay Ted Hurst at pick No. 143 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in No. 178 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at pick No. 207 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Travis Burke
They barely believed it either: Travis Burke still on the board at pick 217. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick232 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
They robbed the room for DJ Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
