Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Bryce Foster a full 36 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Webb pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In pick 8 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in Round 2, Pick 8 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Blake Miller
A conviction pick on Blake Miller at the 72nd pick that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Clay Webb
They let Clay Webb come to them and pounced at the 104th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
Value said wait; Bryce Foster in pick No. 136 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd6 Francisco Mauigoa
They paid up for Francisco Mauigoa at slot 168 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
