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

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Cardinals were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Newton to cover a lot of smaller sins. Adding Malik Willis by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Reaching for Rosemy-Jacksaint left real value on the table behind him.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 7 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in the 35th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A clean, defensible pick in No. 66 with a little surplus value in Christian Haynes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
No edge and no loss on Mike Sainristil in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at pick No. 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 104th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd5 Josh Newton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Newton in pick No. 138. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They let Kitan Oladapo come to them and pounced at slot 162. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick186 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A conviction pick on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at No. 186 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
No drama and no debate, Trevin Wallace went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 6. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A straight-up fair deal on Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 243rd pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
