Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureA-
The Cardinals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. The phones were a trap the Cardinals kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Neyor value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Bijan Robinson leading the way.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 8 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the 32nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
By-the-book stuff, Chris Braswell at pick 35 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick61
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Nothing to complain about; Ja'Tavion Sanders went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A straight-up fair deal on Mekhi Wingo at No. 66, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
They read the board right and Marist Liufau was the payoff at the 95th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140
Rnd5
James Williams
James Williams slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 4 is lovely value for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick145
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
Fair-plus on Nehemiah Pritchett, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick188
Rnd6
Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell in slot 188 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at the 189th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick225
Rnd7
Isaiah Neyor
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 5: Isaiah Neyor for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at pick 227 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
