Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Alexander: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Zy Alexander slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at Round 4, Pick 13. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Horsley proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a featured back, and a steal at that.
Pick47 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Value with a capital V on Josh Conerly Jr. in No. 47, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They let Elic Ayomanor come to them and pounced at pick 78. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
The board fumbled Zy Alexander all the way to the 115th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Shough in the 152nd pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
A real head-scratcher, Cam Horsley in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
