Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Cardinals let Hill Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

Whoever sat across the table from the Cardinals should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.

Landing Hill Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

If Allar pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Nothing to complain about; Dillon Thieneman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick65 Rnd3 Anthony Hill Jr.
They barely believed it either: Anthony Hill Jr. still on the board at No. 65. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at Round 3, Pick 28 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Connor Lew at the Round 3 slot is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Malachi Fields
The board fumbled Malachi Fields all the way to the 104th pick, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jonah Coleman
Nice patience on Jonah Coleman, who had no business lasting to slot 112. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 Drew Allar
The board had cheaper options than Drew Allar at pick No. 143, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Fair-plus on Isaiah World, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Travis Burke
Travis Burke at Round 6, Pick 2 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 Ephesians Prysock
They will replay Ephesians Prysock at the 217th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick229 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
Riley Nowakowski at slot 229 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
