Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+.

The Cardinals ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jenkins. The Rattler reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Adding Darius Slayton by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A straight-up fair deal on Rome Odunze at pick No. 6, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick27 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 27th pick they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at slot 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at Round 2, Pick 15 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kris Jenkins in pick 66. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 71st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A tidy little value on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick104 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They took Braelon Allen at par in No. 104, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
They liked Spencer Rattler enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in Round 5, Pick 2, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
No drama and no debate, Jared Wiley went about where he belonged in the 162nd pick. It fills a real need, too.
