Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
Grand theft in the Round 3 slot: the Cardinals steal Hill Jr. and grade out a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Hill Jr., the 71st overall pick, roughly 33 picks past where he belonged.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will need Curry to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a lead back with juice at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 15 they get a two-high chess piece, and a steal at that.
Pick33 Rnd2 Ty Simpson
Ty Simpson in No. 33 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick34 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
Good price on Caleb Lomu in the 34th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick36 Rnd2 Zion Young
Zion Young in the 36th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick37 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller in pick No. 37 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A slide stopped in pick 40, with Olaivavega Ioane worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52 Rnd2 Colton Hood
Colton Hood at Round 2, Pick 20 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick65 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
Circle this one: Dillon Thieneman at Round 3, Pick 1 is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick66 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Somehow Lee Hunter was still sitting there in the 66th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A quiet steal in No. 67: Eli Stowers for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Germie Bernard in pick 69. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They jumped the gun on Jacob Rodriguez, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71 Rnd3 Anthony Hill Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Anthony Hill Jr. at pick No. 71 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
They took Malachi Fields at par in the 73rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Sarratt at slot 74 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 LT Overton
They read the board right and LT Overton was the payoff at No. 79. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 Caden Curry
They left a pile of value on the table to take Caden Curry this early at pick No. 86. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
