Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Bullard: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Javon Bullard slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at slot 105. Highway robbery.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 4th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 27 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at Round 2, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A tidy little value on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 66, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the 90th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Javon Bullard
A safety of that caliber at slot 105 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They paid sticker price for Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 155, and that is fine. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick188 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at pick 188 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Eric Watts
The board fumbled Eric Watts all the way to No. 222, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Michael Wiley
Michael Wiley at pick No. 224 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They let Sheridan Jones come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 19. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
