Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals let Fuaga fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cardinals watched Taliese Fuaga slide 54 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Every board in the league had Sinnott lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 4 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A swing that ignored the value entirely, T'Vondre Sweat well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in pick 66 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick71 Rnd3 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga at the 71st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
A big swing on Ben Sinnott at slot 90, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They reached into another round for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 33 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in pick No. 140 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Barrett in No. 188. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in the 225th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Stefon Thompson
A reach on Stefon Thompson in Round 7, Pick 7; the board had better options right there. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
