Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Jennings: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kevin Jennings tumbling to the Cardinals in the 230th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They will need Greene III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Malik Muhammad
In the 17th pick they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 CJ Allen
The board had CJ Allen higher than slot 49, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Aaron Graves
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aaron Graves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117 Rnd4 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at pick 117 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156 Rnd5 John Mateer
Steal is underselling it; John Mateer at pick No. 156 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 J.Michael Sturdivant
They went early on J.Michael Sturdivant in the 195th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Circle this one: Kevin Jennings at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
