Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cardinals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

The Abrams-Draine pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on McKinstry to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Every board in the league had Abrams-Draine lower, and that gap is the story.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 10 they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 35th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 66 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They jumped the gun on Roman Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A reach on Michael Hall Jr. in slot 72; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany is a better player than No. 90 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kris Abrams-Draine adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
