Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Wilson. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Cardinals one, and it paid up: Johnny Wilson, the No. 74 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 4 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 4 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 27th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick No. 35 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chris Braswell at Round 3, Pick 2. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
They barely believed it either: Kris Jenkins still on the board at slot 71. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A tidy bit of business in No. 90, where Christian Mahogany graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Wilson at the 104th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Darius Robinson in the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
