Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cardinals bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The war room fell hard for Jordan Hall, and it showed at Round 7, Pick 3: 68 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Cooper Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In pick 5 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Colton Hood
Good price on Colton Hood in the 36th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick45 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They took Dillon Thieneman at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jaeden Roberts
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaeden Roberts. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 94, where Omar Cooper Jr. graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Drew Allar
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Drew Allar well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 144 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
By-the-book stuff, Evan Stewart at Round 6, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
