Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-.

The Cardinals clearly saw something nobody else did in Vernon Broughton, taking him 40 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Williams makes the weekend a net positive.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In pick 16 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyleik Williams in No. 47. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Riley Leonard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Riley Leonard well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
They talked themselves into Vernon Broughton at Round 4, Pick 13, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at pick No. 153 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
