Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: A-.

The Cardinals torched the value chart for Josiah Ezirim, taking him 60 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Carson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Joe Alt and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 4th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In slot 31 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at No. 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 3 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No drama and no debate, Sedrick Van Pran went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 7. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
A quiet steal in pick 105: Caelen Carson for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick137 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
By-the-book stuff, Marcus Harris at Round 5, Pick 1 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They paid a round early for Khristian Boyd in No. 162, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
A reach for Justin Rogers in slot 188; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Garret Greenfield. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
A reach on Keaton Bills in the 222nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Josiah Ezirim
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Josiah Ezirim well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 KT Leveston
Fair-plus on KT Leveston, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
