Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Cardinals drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: D+.

The Cardinals lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Smith.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 27 they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman slid further than he should have, and the 35th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
By-the-book stuff, Mekhi Wingo at the 66th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
They will replay Jonathon Brooks at pick 90 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
They paid sticker price for Matt Goncalves in No. 100, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
No edge and no loss on Javon Solomon in pick No. 102; it is a wash and a sensible one. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick104 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at pick 104 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 133rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at slot 140 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 188. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams in Round 7, Pick 5 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Myles Jones
They read the board right and Myles Jones was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
