Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Cardinals a B-, Green and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Taylen Green slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at the 224th pick. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Jacas reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Cardinals indulged a want in McNeil-Warren while a need in running back, tight end and other spots stayed open. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In No. 10 they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jaeden Roberts
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaeden Roberts. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas in pick 72 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They paid sticker price for Omar Cooper Jr. in Round 3, Pick 24, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
They took Earl Little Jr. at par in pick No. 110, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick124 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A surprising call. With running back, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, a safety they were not short of.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They paid up for Jacob Rodriguez at the 149th pick when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
A clean, defensible pick in the 164th overall pick with a little surplus value in Iapani Laloulu. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Duce Robinson
A tidy bit of business in the 186th overall pick, where Duce Robinson graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Taylen Green
They barely believed it either: Taylen Green still on the board at the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
