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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Devontez Walker a full 68 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Hart pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 3 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 17th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Devontez Walker. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in pick No. 67 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in No. 73 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A straight-up fair deal on Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 81, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, running back and other spots to take Cam Hart, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick133 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the 133rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
