Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 8 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in the 23rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 27 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
