Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureC
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Cardinals were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Every board in the league had Adebawore lower, and that gap is the story. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The veteran additions, Bijan Robinson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick40
Rnd2
LaNorris Sellers
The board fumbled LaNorris Sellers all the way to the 40th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
A reach on Malachi Fields in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry at No. 148 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155
Rnd5
Zane Durant
Zane Durant at the 155th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick156
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
They jumped the gun on Davison Igbinosun, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick188
Rnd6
Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore in pick 188 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell in Round 7, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick251
Rnd7
Dante Dowdell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dante Dowdell. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
