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

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

The cost of the Alexander reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They banked enough surplus on Schwesinger to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
No edge and no loss on T.J. Sanders in No. 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick47 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They took Aireontae Ersery at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zy Alexander well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick78 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A slide stopped in pick No. 78, with Carson Schwesinger worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
