Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
A franchise passer in Moore headlines a A- weekend for the Cardinals.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how A'Mauri Washington got past him. The Cardinals do not have to explain a thing at Round 6, Pick 2. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

Dante Moore is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

The Johnson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver and running back still on the board. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In the end it comes back to Dante Moore, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around, and a steal at that.
Pick20 Rnd1 Carter Smith
In slot 20 they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Cayden Green
The board fumbled Cayden Green all the way to the 34th pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tae Johnson
A surprising call. With wide receiver and running back still to address, they spent slot 65 on Tae Johnson, a safety they were not short of.
Pick82 Rnd3 Chris Cole
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Chris Cole adds a linebacker and leaves wide receiver and running back untouched.
Pick104 Rnd4 Justin Scott
Justin Scott at No. 104 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112 Rnd4 Teitum Tuioti
A edge rusher of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 12 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Solomon Tuliaupupu
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Solomon Tuliaupupu in pick No. 141, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161 Rnd5 Brice Pollock
Brice Pollock at the 161st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick181 Rnd6 A'Mauri Washington
Somehow A'Mauri Washington was still sitting there in pick 181, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
They robbed the room for Lawson Luckie here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
