Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals answered their biggest question with Maye. Grade: B-.

The Cardinals spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Every board in the league had Coker lower, and that gap is the story. Getting Wilson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 4th pick they get a long-term answer under center. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Zach Frazier
In pick 27 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They reached a country mile for Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 35, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Max Melton
No drama and no debate, Max Melton went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick71 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
They went early on Bralen Trice in pick No. 71, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at Round 3, Pick 27 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
No edge and no loss on Gabriel Murphy in the 104th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 162nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Andrew Coker
They reached into another round for Andrew Coker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
