Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in Penix Jr., and a D, for the Cardinals.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cardinals shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

So much rides on Michael Penix Jr. that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Henderson lower, and that gap is the story.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In pick 4 they get a passer to set the clock by, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 27 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at No. 71 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalen McMillan in the 105th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Fair-plus on M.J. Devonshire, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick224 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take LaDarius Henderson this early at the 224th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
