Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA+
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft.

The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 12 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 27 they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
A clean, defensible pick in the 66th pick with a little surplus value in Bralen Trice. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Payton Wilson at pick No. 71. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 12: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caelen Carson. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 104th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
