Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Higgins: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jayden Higgins tumbling to the Cardinals in No. 78 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Conerly Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Nice patience on Jihaad Campbell, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick 78 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
They went early on Jamaree Caldwell in the 115th pick, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at the 152nd overall pick is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at slot 225 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
