Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Stutsman should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Danny Stutsman at No. 151 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The cost of the Robinson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 16 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They paid sticker price for Tyleik Williams in No. 47, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in slot 78 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 113th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
