Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA
FutureA-
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cardinals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
Every board in the league had Knight lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
Landing Holker that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 6th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In No. 27 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
By-the-book stuff, Braden Fiske at slot 35 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
They read the board right and Jordan Morgan was the payoff at the 47th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
Max Melton
No drama and no debate, Max Melton went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
The board had cheaper options than Jonah Elliss at Round 3, Pick 7, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
They robbed the room for Blake Fisher here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ray Davis
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ray Davis at pick 104. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 108 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick129
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A want over a need in pick 129: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick138
Rnd5
Erick All
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Erick All graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 21 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick162
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the 162nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181
Rnd6
Dallin Holker
Somehow Dallin Holker was still sitting there in pick No. 181, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186
Rnd6
Tyrice Knight
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyrice Knight in the 186th pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226
Rnd7
Bub Means
No edge and no loss on Bub Means in pick 226; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
