Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals let Allar fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cardinals were there to profit. Drew Allar, the No. 158 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 186. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at pick 39 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Nothing to complain about; Rod Moore went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick105 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. slipping to Round 4, Pick 5 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Logan Jones
Logan Jones in No. 148 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Drew Allar
Somehow Drew Allar was still sitting there in slot 186, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
A straight-up fair deal on DJ Harvey at the 221st pick, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
