Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Brooks. Final grade: B.

The Cardinals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jonathon Brooks, the No. 59 name on the board, in the Round 3 slot.

With quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Braswell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
The board had cheaper options than Taliese Fuaga at the 17th pick, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They paid up for Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in No. 68 leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A conviction pick on Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 71st overall pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at Round 3, Pick 17 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
