Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Cardinals did not so much draft Luke Kandra as overpay for him, 37 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Monangai steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick No. 16 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick 47 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in slot 78 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They talked themselves into Luke Kandra at the 115th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 152nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kyle Monangai in No. 225. The roster fit checks out.
