Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesC+ FutureB+
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 9 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick12 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
