Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall F
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureF
The Cardinals overdrafted Drones and paid the price. Grade: F.

The Cardinals bet big and early on Kyron Drones, 95 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Kilgore.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In pick No. 8 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In No. 19 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A slide stopped in slot 38, with Caleb Banks worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They paid sticker price for Sonny Styles in the 39th overall pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Caleb Tiernan well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the quarterback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Value with a capital V on Omar Cooper Jr. in slot 105, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Adon Shuler
Adon Shuler at the 110th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at Round 5, Pick 4 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick188 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Nice patience on Aaron Anderson, who had no business lasting to No. 188. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kyron Drones
Kyron Drones at pick 222 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
