Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for Jackson Slater, 33 picks ahead of schedule.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at Round 1, Pick 16 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A premium they did not need to pay, Jack Sawyer a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
A big swing on Jackson Slater at pick 115, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
They liked Barryn Sorrell enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 152. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Nothing to complain about; Alijah Huzzie went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
