Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: A-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cardinals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

They will need Gentry to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Cardinals indulged a want in Smith while a need in quarterback, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Getting Sainristil where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 10th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Value said wait; Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 32 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
The board had cheaper options than Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 3, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A swing that ignored the value entirely, T'Vondre Sweat well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick No. 66 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A quiet steal in pick 95: Mike Sainristil for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick104 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Khyree Jackson while clear needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No drama and no debate, Cedric Gray went about where he belonged in the 133rd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They took Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at par in pick 140, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in the 188th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Myles Jones at No. 225. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick227 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at slot 227 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
