Draft Grade — Cardinals

Larceny in Round 3, Pick 10 lands the Cardinals a B-, Lew and all.

When a board-topper like Connor Lew slides to the Round 3 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Cardinals did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Dennis-Sutton lower, and that gap is the story. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dani Dennis-Sutton
In pick 12 they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Arch Manning
They took Arch Manning at par in Round 2, Pick 11, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They robbed the room for Connor Lew here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cayden Green
Cayden Green at No. 113 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeMonte Capehart. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick190 Rnd6 Adon Shuler
A straight-up fair deal on Adon Shuler at the 190th pick, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick224 Rnd7 Amare Campbell
By-the-book stuff, Amare Campbell at the 224th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
