Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B+ for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Frank Gore Jr., 33 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Neyor at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick No. 4 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 27 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Chop Robinson at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They paid a round early for McKinnley Jackson in pick 71, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe is a better player than Round 3, Pick 27 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They paid up for Kris Abrams-Draine at the 104th pick when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick106 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at Round 4, Pick 6 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Frank Gore Jr.
A wild overpay on Frank Gore Jr. in the 133rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the 144th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick184 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They reached a country mile for Tanor Bortolini at slot 184, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Carson Steele
A real head-scratcher, Carson Steele in pick 225 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaiah Neyor in pick No. 227. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
