Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B+.

The Cardinals ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Mahogany pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Darius Slayton gives the group a proven body among the projects.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick 6 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in slot 35 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Graham Barton. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
By-the-book stuff, Ruke Orhorhoro at No. 66 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They paid up for Roman Wilson at Round 3, Pick 7 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
The board had Christian Mahogany higher than pick No. 90, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 104th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
Value with a capital V on Johnny Dixon in pick No. 133, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
