Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesB FutureA
The Cardinals bet the future on Williams. The board says B+.

The search is over. The Cardinals handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

It is not that Simpson is a bad player; it is that the Cardinals had louder needs to answer first. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner slipping to the 34th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ladd McConkey
They did well to land Ladd McConkey in No. 66, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They let Denzel Burke come to them and pounced at slot 68. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick70 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 70 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jaylin Simpson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Jaylin Simpson while clear needs at running back, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick102 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 102nd overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
