Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cardinals bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Cardinals spent real capital to be 162 picks early on Tyler Harrell, and the board is going to hold them to it. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Driskell.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick 4 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 27th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A real head-scratcher, Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 33rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in Round 2, Pick 3 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
A wild overpay on Marist Liufau in pick No. 66, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in slot 71, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Ray Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ray Davis well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint this early at the 105th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 137 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ethan Driskell
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 222 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
They reached a country mile for Tyler Harrell at pick 224, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
