Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueA-
NeedB+

FutureB-
The Cardinals let Bullock fall and pounced. Final grade: B+. You could see the war room lean forward. Calen Bullock at slot 138 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In No. 4 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick 27 they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers in pick No. 35 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 41st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
Circle this one: Xavier Legette at Round 3, Pick 7 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 88th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick138
Rnd5
Calen Bullock
Somehow Calen Bullock was still sitting there in slot 138, and they pounced on premier safety value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick186
Rnd6
Michael Pratt
Steal is underselling it; Michael Pratt at pick 186 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
Taking Marist Liufau in the 219th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
