Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureA
The Cardinals won the night they stopped Mustapha from sliding. Grade: A-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Malik Mustapha tumbling to the Cardinals in the 188th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
In the end it comes back to Byron Murphy II, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the 6th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In the 29th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick55
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A tidy little value on Patrick Paul in No. 55, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
They read the board right and Christian Haynes was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 27. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
Circle this one: Marist Liufau at pick 104 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
A slide stopped in slot 111, with Blake Fisher worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133
Rnd4
Max Melton
Steal is underselling it; Max Melton at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick140
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
They did well to land Cedric Gray in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in Round 6, Pick 13 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jalen Berger
They barely believed it either: Jalen Berger still on the board at slot 225. A need, and now a little less of one.
