Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD- FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Grant: B-.

The phones were a trap the Cardinals kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Grant to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will need Dippre to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 46th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick47 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Steal is underselling it; Emeka Egbuka at pick 47 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
By-the-book stuff, Barrett Carter at the 78th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in slot 115 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They jumped the gun on Ty Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
A real head-scratcher, CJ Dippre in pick No. 225 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
