Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
Beck is the plan now, and the Cardinals grade out a D.

Some picks age like wine; Javontez Spraggins at the 187th overall pick will need to, sitting 71 spots clear of his grade. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

Carson Beck is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

That Higgins pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Carson Beck
In the 8th pick they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A tidy little value on Tyleik Williams in pick No. 39, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
No edge and no loss on Barrett Carter in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Good price on Tre Harris in slot 72, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Fair-plus on Sonny Styles, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick104 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
A straight-up fair deal on Wyatt Milum at Round 4, Pick 8, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 121st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd5 Nick Emmanwori
A quiet steal in the 136th overall pick: Nick Emmanwori for less than the market said. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick168 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Javontez Spraggins
A wild overpay on Javontez Spraggins in pick 187, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd7 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at slot 200 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
