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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cardinals spent the 189th pick on Thomas Collins, a name the board had a full 116 spots lower.

That Klubnik pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
Kadyn Proctor at Round 1, Pick 8 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
The board had Caleb Banks higher than No. 40, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Taurean York
Value with a capital V on Taurean York in pick 72, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
You do not let a quarterback like Cade Klubnik reach the 108th overall pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
Value said wait; CJ Daniels in the 148th pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Thomas Collins
A wild overpay on Thomas Collins in slot 189, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at No. 223 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
