Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Brooks: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tahj Brooks, the 152nd pick, roughly 30 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 16 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A tidy little value on Tyler Booker in the 47th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in No. 78 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in slot 115 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
