Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: A-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cardinals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

The Abrams-Draine pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, running back and other spots. They are betting Robinson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Mahogany pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 11 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 27th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
A straight-up fair deal on Bralen Trice at Round 2, Pick 3, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick 43 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick66 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They liked Roman Wilson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 71. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christian Mahogany at pick No. 90. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A premium they did not need to pay, Darius Robinson a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
A tidy little value on DeWayne Carter in slot 106, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kris Abrams-Draine at cornerback with quarterback, running back and other spots open.
