Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Wilson: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Johnny Wilson, the No. 75 name on the board, stolen at Round 4, Pick 4. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Sainristil pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and interior defensive lineman still on the board. They are betting Ulofoshio proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
By-the-book stuff, Malik Nabers at pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Nothing to complain about; Quinyon Mitchell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick66 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A reach on Blake Corum in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 71 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Mike Sainristil adds a cornerback and leaves edge rusher and interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick104 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Somehow Johnny Wilson was still sitting there in the 104th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 133rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd5 Malik Washington
They will replay Malik Washington at the 140th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner at pick No. 188 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
A straight-up fair deal on Taulia Tagovailoa at slot 225, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau in No. 227 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
