Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There is a lot to like until you notice tight end is still a hole. The Cardinals never got to the one that mattered most.

On value alone, Lloyd makes the weekend a net positive. Every board in the league had Jones lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 4 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In pick No. 26 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Good price on Kamari Lassiter in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick66 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They took Javon Bullard at par in Round 3, Pick 2, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick71 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Haynes at slot 71, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Nothing to complain about; Marist Liufau went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Fair-plus on Blake Fisher, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They paid sticker price for Jordan Travis in the 133rd overall pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at the 140th overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
They did well to land Aki Ogunbiyi in pick 188, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A reach for Matthew Jones in No. 225; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
By-the-book stuff, Dylan McMahon at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
