Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Emmanuel Pregnon, No. 78, roughly 39 picks past where he belonged.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 12 they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick15 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Zion Young
A conviction pick on Zion Young at pick No. 33 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kenyon Sadiq at the 34th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick35 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Nice patience on Olaivavega Ioane, who had no business lasting to slot 35. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick37 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Garrett Nussmeier this early at pick 37. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Colton Hood
A tidy bit of business in the 39th pick, where Colton Hood graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick40 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Nothing to complain about; Dillon Thieneman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick42 Rnd2 Romello Height
A straight-up fair deal on Romello Height at No. 42, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
No edge and no loss on Gennings Dunker in pick 46; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They read the board right and Omar Cooper Jr. was the payoff at the 65th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Lee Hunter reach slot 66 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Emmanuel Pregnon
Steal is underselling it; Emmanuel Pregnon at the 78th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 28: Jacob Rodriguez for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Caden Curry
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Caden Curry. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Chris McClellan
A wild overpay on Chris McClellan in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
