Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Mahogany. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Christian Mahogany slide, and the Cardinals were the ones holding the card at No. 104. Highway robbery.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Sainristil reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Value with a capital V on Bo Nix in the 35th pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A conviction pick on Mike Sainristil at No. 66 that the board grades a round light. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Nothing to complain about; Mekhi Wingo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They let Blake Corum come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Taking Christian Mahogany in the 104th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in slot 133 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Jarrian Jones at pick No. 140 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick188 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at No. 188 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kingsley Eguakun
Kingsley Eguakun at slot 225 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy is a better player than the 227th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
