Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Isaac: A.

The real work happened on the phones. The Cardinals fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.

The Isaac steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Rome Odunze and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga at No. 36 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
They paid sticker price for Jonathon Brooks in the 68th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 81 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac
You do not let an edge rusher like Adisa Isaac reach slot 104 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Nothing to complain about; Tommy Eichenberg went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 133 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Value with a capital V on Donovan Jackson in No. 141, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick No. 163 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Graham Mertz in the 225th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Evan Williams in Round 7, Pick 6. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick235 Rnd7 Trey Knox
No edge and no loss on Trey Knox in slot 235; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Marques Cox
Marques Cox at the 244th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
