Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Warren Brinson at No. 225. The Cardinals jumped the board by 69 and dared it to prove them wrong. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Landing Felton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at Round 2, Pick 15 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick78 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
They paid sticker price for Barrett Carter in No. 78, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tai Felton
A slide stopped in slot 115, with Tai Felton worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Shough at pick No. 152. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Warren Brinson
Warren Brinson in the 225th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
