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

The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kevin Coleman Jr. at pick No. 96 regardless, 70 picks early.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Simpson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 16th pick they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that.
Pick21 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In pick 21 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald is a better player than pick No. 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jadarian Price
A big swing on Jadarian Price at Round 2, Pick 2, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in No. 35 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malachi Lawrence
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Lawrence at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ty Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Ty Simpson at slot 49 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They let Eli Stowers come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 1. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in the 66th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick78 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Germie Bernard graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Brenen Thompson
Brenen Thompson at pick No. 92 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in the 96th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
