Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-.

The curious call sets the tone. With quarterback still glaring, the Cardinals used pick 104 on Caelen Carson, a cornerback they were not exactly short of. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Barner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
By-the-book stuff, Dallas Turner at No. 11 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 23rd overall pick they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In slot 27 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In No. 32 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at Round 3, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Caelen Carson adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick153 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at pick 153 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They reached into another round for Josh Proctor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
