Overall D+

ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-

The Cardinals fought the board and lost. D+.

The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Tyreem Powell, 327 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Ayomanor pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick16 Rnd1 Tyreem Powell

In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a three-down second-level presence, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.

Pick47 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.

Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Josh Conerly Jr. at the Round 2 slot is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.

Pick78 Rnd3 Howard Cross III

They left a pile of value on the table to take Howard Cross III this early at pick No. 78. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick115 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor

The board fumbled Elic Ayomanor all the way to pick 115, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

Pick152 Rnd5 Luke Elzinga

Value said wait; Luke Elzinga in the 152nd pick says they were not listening. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
