Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

The search is over. The Cardinals handed the keys to Shedeur Sanders, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Reaching for Henderson left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. On value alone, Sanders makes the weekend a net positive.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick 16 they get a franchise quarterback, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 15 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A reach for Danny Stutsman in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A wild overpay on Rylie Mills in the 115th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
They jumped the gun on Ryan Fitzgerald, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Xzavier Henderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xzavier Henderson this early at the 225th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
