Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals won the night they stopped Taylor-Demerson from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson tumbling to the Cardinals in pick 104 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 27th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Good price on Tyler Guyton in pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A linebacker of that caliber at the 66th pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Nice patience on Kiran Amegadjie, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 7. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
The board had Andru Phillips higher than slot 90, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They will replay Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick No. 104 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
You do not let a wide receiver like Johnny Wilson reach No. 138 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
They let Jordan Jefferson come to them and pounced at pick No. 186. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in the 226th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
