Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Cardinals were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Suamataia pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In the end it comes back to Malik Nabers, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 21 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nate Wiggins. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia slid further than he should have, and the 66th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 70 with a little surplus value in Ruke Orhorhoro. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Davis in the 102nd overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ray Davis
A reach for Ray Davis in slot 139; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 BJ Mayes
Nothing to complain about; BJ Mayes went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
