Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. The Cardinals spent real capital to be 116 picks early on Cody Schrader, and the board is going to hold them to it. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
The McMillan pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
The veteran additions, Brock Purdy chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 1 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick2
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In the 2nd overall pick they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick4
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In No. 4 they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick5
Rnd1
Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get an anchor for the defensive front.
Pick19
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 19th pick they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20
Rnd1
Graham Barton
By-the-book stuff, Graham Barton at No. 20 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick21
Rnd1
Roger Rosengarten
In slot 21 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1
Ladd McConkey
In pick No. 22 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Payton Wilson
In the 23rd pick they get a three-down second-level presence, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 26th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Chris Braswell
In pick 27 they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Cade Stover
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
The board had Cooper DeJean higher than Round 1, Pick 30, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick31
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 31 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
