Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA-
The Cardinals let Coleman fall and pounced. Final grade: C-.

Call it larceny. Keon Coleman sat on the board until the 90th overall pick, and the Cardinals did not need to be asked twice.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Every board in the league had Hall Jr. lower, and that gap is the story.

So much rides on Brian Thomas Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Brian Thomas Jr. at the 19th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
No edge and no loss on Jordan Morgan in pick 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 66th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A reach for Michael Hall Jr. in slot 71; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Steal is underselling it; Keon Coleman at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
You do not let a safety like Jaden Hicks reach pick No. 105 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick137 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at No. 137 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
