Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesC FutureB
A passer of the future in Klubnik, and a B, for the Cardinals.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Cardinals spent their marquee pick on Cade Klubnik, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

The Nelson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Bowen reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Cade Klubnik
In the 17th overall pick they get their quarterback of the future, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Drayk Bowen
Drayk Bowen at No. 49 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 C.J. Fite
Value with a capital V on C.J. Fite in slot 117, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at pick No. 156 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cayden Lee
A tidy bit of business in pick 178, where Cayden Lee graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Connor Tollison
They read the board right and Connor Tollison was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Malachi Nelson
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Malachi Nelson in Round 7, Pick 14, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
