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

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cardinals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

However the rest shakes out, Gabriel at that price is a win they earned. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
By-the-book stuff, Marcus Mbow at No. 47 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in Round 3, Pick 14 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
No edge and no loss on Ozzy Trapilo in slot 81; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at pick No. 115 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at pick 152 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson slipping to pick 191 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick197 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Fair-plus on KeAndre Lambert-Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in the 225th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
