Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals answered their biggest question with Williams. Grade: A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Dallas Turner tumbling to the Cardinals in the 134th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. With running back and linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 27 they get a franchise quarterback, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
The board fumbled Malik Nabers all the way to the 30th pick, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick31 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In slot 31 they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick32 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In No. 32 they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
They bypassed pressing needs at running back and linebacker to take Quinyon Mitchell, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 39 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60 Rnd2 Laiatu Latu
Taking Laiatu Latu in Round 2, Pick 28 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick 66 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Elijah Jones in the Round 4 slot leaves running back and linebacker for later.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton in pick No. 129 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at the 134th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick157 Rnd5 Tyler Nubin
They will replay Tyler Nubin at pick 157 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in No. 162 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 167 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
You do not let a tight end like Dallin Holker reach Round 6, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris at the 226th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
