Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Daniels is the Cardinals' new face under center. Grade: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Cardinals' quarterback, full stop. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They are betting Hall proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get the face of the franchise. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 27 they get a building block for the line at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Darius Robinson in pick 66, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
A conviction pick on Brandon Dorlus at the 71st overall pick that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Taking Roman Wilson in the 82nd pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Hunter Nourzad
A real head-scratcher, Hunter Nourzad in No. 90 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A reach for Cam Hart in slot 104; a little patience would have been rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at slot 138 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jordan Magee
Fair-plus on Jordan Magee, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at Round 6, Pick 16 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Eric Watts
Eric Watts at No. 226 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
