Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B.

The Cardinals came in with a to-do list and worked it. Quarterback was the headline item, one of 8 of their 8 biggest needs they crossed off. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers at the Round 1 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick26 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick 26 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 35th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at No. 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the 71st pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They paid sticker price for Marist Liufau in pick No. 89, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Audric Estime
By-the-book stuff, Audric Estime at Round 4, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
No edge and no loss on Beaux Limmer in slot 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 Brennan Armstrong
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brennan Armstrong. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
They took Austin Stogner at par in the 188th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
A straight-up fair deal on Phil Jurkovec at No. 225, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Stefon Thompson
No drama and no debate, Stefon Thompson went about where he belonged in pick 227. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
