Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals let Rogers fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Caleb Rogers at Round 7, Pick 9 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Majors to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 47th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Somehow Demetrius Knight Jr. was still sitting there in pick 78, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in slot 115 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalen Rivers a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers in the 225th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
