Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 153rd overall pick lands the Cardinals a B+, Schwesinger and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cardinals were there to profit. Carson Schwesinger, the No. 87 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 5 slot. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The Cornelius pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 22nd overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 47th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at slot 55, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 78, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Somehow Dylan Fairchild was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 23, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Steal is underselling it; Carson Schwesinger at No. 153 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
