Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals land in the muddy middle: C+.

There is reaching, and then there is Anthony Hill Jr. at Round 1, Pick 9. The Cardinals jumped the board by 32 and dared it to prove them wrong. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. That Banks pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick No. 9 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, a steep price for the projection.
Pick40 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A slide stopped in the 40th overall pick, with Caleb Banks worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
No edge and no loss on A'Mauri Washington in pick 71; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Drew Allar
No drama and no debate, Drew Allar went about where he belonged in slot 109. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson at the 148th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eric O'Neill. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They paid sticker price for Bryce Foster in the 224th overall pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
