Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueB+
NeedB
TradesB
FutureA+
The Cardinals let Bailey fall and pounced. Final grade: B+. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Emani Bailey got past him. The Cardinals do not have to explain a thing at slot 227. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. With quarterback and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on TE-EDGE is the choice that costs them. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Taliese Fuaga at slot 29 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in pick No. 30 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
The board fumbled Calen Bullock all the way to the 66th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick71
Rnd3
Josh Newton
A slide stopped in pick 71, with Josh Newton worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick76
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
A tidy little value on Payton Wilson in No. 76, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
Fair-plus on Braden Fiske, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Cade Stover
A want over a need in the 104th pick: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while quarterback and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick121
Rnd4
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at slot 121 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133
Rnd4
James Williams
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, James Williams adds a safety and leaves quarterback and tight end untouched.
Pick140
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe is a better player than pick 140 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188
Rnd6
LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at No. 188 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227
Rnd7
Emani Bailey
You do not let a running back like Emani Bailey reach pick No. 227 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
