Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB
The Cardinals left with their quarterback, and a D to match.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cardinals did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Spann-Ford has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That Newton pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 4 they get a long-term answer under center. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick13 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 13 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 27 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Franklin at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They did well to land Cooper Beebe in slot 53, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Nice patience on Payton Wilson, who had no business lasting to the 66th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 71st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving slipping to Round 4, Pick 4 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in Round 4, Pick 20 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Josh Newton at the 138th pick is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
A tidy little value on Jacob Cowing in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at the 161st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in pick No. 162 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A real head-scratcher, Brevyn Spann-Ford in No. 226 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
