Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Kaleb Elarms-Orr; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 39 spots ahead at the 141st pick.

The Banks steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Rueben Bain Jr. at pick No. 3, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Caleb Banks
Somehow Caleb Banks was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 1, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis in slot 104 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A big swing on Kaleb Elarms-Orr at the 141st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
A tidy little value on Ted Hurst in pick 181, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Sawyer Robertson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sawyer Robertson at the Round 7 slot is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
