Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cardinals answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cardinals, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. If McClellan pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Beebe value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 3 they get a franchise quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick10 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In No. 10 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 22nd pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They paid sticker price for Kamari Lassiter in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick42 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in the 42nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Nice patience on Cooper Beebe, who had no business lasting to pick No. 67. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 3, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in slot 81 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A reach on Adisa Isaac in pick 86; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
They went early on Jalen McMillan in pick No. 103, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 James Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Williams in the 133rd pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick140 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at the 140th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
They paid up for Jack Nelson at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
A conviction pick on Jake Briningstool at Round 6, Pick 23 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in No. 224 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
They talked themselves into Jase McClellan at slot 227, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
