Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
Larceny in the Round 5 slot lands the Cardinals a B-, Marshall Jr. and all.

The phones were a trap the Cardinals kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

Landing Marshall Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Cox has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick100 Rnd4 DJ Uiagalelei
A conviction pick on DJ Uiagalelei at No. 100 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at the 132nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd6 Jonathan Mendoza
The board had cheaper options than Jonathan Mendoza at the 164th pick, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196 Rnd7 Eli Cox
A real head-scratcher, Eli Cox in slot 196 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221 Rnd7 Garrett Nussmeier
Value with a capital V on Garrett Nussmeier in pick No. 221, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
