Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Raul Aguirre Jr.. He came off 240 spots early, and the room will hear about it. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Stowers pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick No. 9 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
No drama and no debate, Caleb Lomu went about where he belonged in pick 40. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 John Mateer
John Mateer at No. 71 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
They robbed the room for Eli Stowers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jyaire Hill
Good price on Jyaire Hill in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick188 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
A slide stopped in the 188th overall pick, with CJ Daniels worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Raul Aguirre Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Raul Aguirre Jr. in Round 7, Pick 7, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
