Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Manning should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Arch Manning slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at the 73rd overall pick. Highway robbery.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Foster pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
They paid up for Kadyn Proctor at Round 1, Pick 11 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Value with a capital V on Caleb Banks in No. 42, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Arch Manning
Arch Manning at pick No. 73 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Earl Little Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
A clean, defensible pick in the 150th pick with a little surplus value in Nic Anderson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jermaine Mathews Jr. in the Round 6 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A reach for Bryce Foster in slot 225; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
