Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
A
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a A. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Cardinals came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.
The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 17th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In slot 20 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Taliese Fuaga
They read the board right and Taliese Fuaga was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 4. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at No. 52 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Nothing to complain about; Denzel Burke went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mekhi Wingo. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in pick 81 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110
Rnd4
Devontez Walker
Good price on Devontez Walker in pick No. 110, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
They took Beaux Limmer at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at No. 141 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163
Rnd5
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at Round 5, Pick 27 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
