Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in slot 104 lands the Cardinals a B+, Orange and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cardinals watched Domonique Orange slide 31 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Allar proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The Tyler Smith pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 20th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
The board had Olaivavega Ioane higher than Round 2, Pick 2, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
They took Zachariah Branch at par in the 65th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Domonique Orange
They robbed the room for Domonique Orange here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A premium they did not need to pay, Drew Allar a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Zane Durant
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zane Durant. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 TJ Hall
A straight-up fair deal on TJ Hall at pick No. 217, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
