Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B.

Hard to follow the map here. The Cardinals bypassed quarterback, running back and other spots to take Kris Abrams-Draine at pick No. 76, a spot they had covered. The bottom line is a respectable B.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Hall Jr. lower, and that gap is the story.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took DeJean. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 8 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at the 35th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 66th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Michael Hall Jr. at pick No. 71, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 76 leaves quarterback, running back and other spots for later.
