Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

The war room fell hard for Hayden Conner, and it showed at the 211th pick: 59 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Burke. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 16 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Will Johnson
Will Johnson at pick 47 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They paid up for Jordan Burch at the 78th pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Simon this early at Round 4, Pick 13. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
The board fumbled Denzel Burke all the way to the 174th overall pick, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick211 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at slot 211, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
A big swing on Kitan Crawford at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
