Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals answered their biggest question with Sanders. Grade: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Shedeur Sanders is the Cardinals' quarterback, full stop.

The Slater reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They banked enough surplus on Jones Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In No. 16 they get their quarterback of the future. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
They paid sticker price for Benjamin Morrison in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick78 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at the 78th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jackson Slater this early at Round 4, Pick 13. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They barely believed it either: Emery Jones Jr. still on the board at the 153rd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
