Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals let Tyson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cardinals watched Jordyn Tyson slide 222 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In slot 17 they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano at Round 2, Pick 16 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Anthony Hill Jr.
Taking Anthony Hill Jr. in the 79th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell at pick No. 114 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 LaNorris Sellers
Somehow LaNorris Sellers was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Will Lee III
They robbed the room for Will Lee III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jordyn Tyson
They barely believed it either: Jordyn Tyson still on the board at No. 236. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
