Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B-.

The Cardinals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jordan Travis at Round 3, Pick 27 regardless, 66 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That Jones pick is the receipt they will wave around later. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
They paid sticker price for Joe Alt in the 4th overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick27 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keon Coleman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
They read the board right and Ruke Orhorhoro was the payoff at No. 66. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at slot 71 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 90th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 105 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A wild overpay on Jaheim Bell in No. 137, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
Somehow Marcus Harris was still sitting there in the 161st overall pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jalyx Hunt
A top-tier S-EDGE at a bargain, Jalyx Hunt in pick 188, plain and simple. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick222 Rnd7 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They will replay Zion Tupuola-Fetui at Round 7, Pick 2 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in the 224th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at slot 241 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
