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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cardinals would have aced it. Garrett Nussmeier at Round 2, Pick 14 is 34 spots clear of where he belonged.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They banked enough surplus on Concepcion to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 18th overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick19 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 19, where Jeremiyah Love graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick33 Rnd2 Zion Young
A conviction pick on Zion Young at No. 33 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at slot 34 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chase Bisontis
They reached a country mile for Chase Bisontis at pick 35, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
The board fumbled Kayden McDonald all the way to Round 2, Pick 4, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick37 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dillon Thieneman in pick 37. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick46 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier in No. 46 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick48 Rnd2 KC Concepcion
They will replay KC Concepcion at Round 2, Pick 16 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
No edge and no loss on D'Angelo Ponds in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick65 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter is a better player than the 65th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
