Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals won the night they stopped Klare from sliding. Grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Max Klare slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at the 113th overall pick. Highway robbery.

They will need Hobbs to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In slot 12 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
A quiet steal in No. 43: Garrett Nussmeier for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at Round 3, Pick 10 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick113 Rnd4 Max Klare
They will replay Max Klare at the 113th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 152 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in pick 190 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
