Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Skattebo. Final grade: B.

The Cardinals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cam Skattebo fell into No. 151. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Ezeiruaku pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Ezeiruaku well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren slid further than he should have, and pick 55 is lovely value for the tight end. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A slide stopped in the 78th pick, with Deone Walker worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Fair-plus on Savion Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Hayden Conner
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Conner in slot 117 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
They took Carson Schwesinger at par in pick No. 123, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 151st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
