Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Cardinals were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

Every board in the league had Jagusah lower, and that gap is the story. Siereveld at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In the 21st pick they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
No edge and no loss on Olaivavega Ioane in Round 2, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A clean, defensible pick in the 53rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Dillon Thieneman. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
They let A'Mauri Washington come to them and pounced at pick No. 74. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in pick 76 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld is a better player than slot 104 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in No. 109 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trinidad Chambliss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
A slide stopped in slot 217, with Evan Stewart worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
