Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cardinals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The Cardinals indulged a want in Abrams-Draine while a need in tight end and linebacker stayed open. They are betting Abrams-Draine proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jordan.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 27th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Chop Robinson at the 35th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at pick No. 43, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ruke Orhorhoro. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at slot 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 104 on Kris Abrams-Draine with tight end and linebacker unsolved.
Pick105 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in pick 105 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They liked Luke McCaffrey enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 33. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
They paid up for Drake Nugent at No. 140 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Value with a capital V on Jawhar Jordan in the 225th overall pick, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
