Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals have some explaining to do: D+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cardinals took Tyreem Powell a full 292 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Williams.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tyreem Powell
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cameron Williams at pick No. 47 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Howard Cross III
A real head-scratcher, Howard Cross III in No. 78 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Kyle Ford
Kyle Ford at the 114th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cam Horsley
They reached a country mile for Cam Horsley at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
