Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Cardinals won the night they stopped Taaffe from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Michael Taaffe had no business being available in pick No. 114, and the Cardinals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will need Zuhn III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In No. 25 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jordyn Tyson
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 48 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt in slot 60 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks is a better player than the 79th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114 Rnd4 Michael Taaffe
They will replay Michael Taaffe at pick 114 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick152 Rnd5 Monroe Freeling
The board fumbled Monroe Freeling all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A reach for Trey Zuhn III in Round 6, Pick 12; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
They paid sticker price for Fernando Carmona in the 236th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Anthony Evans III
Value with a capital V on Anthony Evans III in Round 7, Pick 27, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
