Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cardinals reached some 119 spots for Keilan Robinson, and value like that does not grow back. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
The Pritchett steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Rnd7
Darius Muasau
They barely believed it either: Darius Muasau still on the board at slot 246. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still in the 247th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick249
Rnd7
Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey is a better player than the 249th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
They reached a country mile for Evan Anderson at No. 250, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251
Rnd7
Zion Logue
Zion Logue in pick 251 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252
Rnd7
Andrew Coker
Value said wait; Andrew Coker in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
This one needs a full-page explanation: X'Zauvea Gadlin in slot 253, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
