Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cardinals to a B.

The Cardinals lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Barton to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Reaching for Abrams-Draine left real value on the table behind him.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In slot 12 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Morgan at pick 35. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Graham Barton
They let Graham Barton come to them and pounced at pick No. 66. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Johnny Wilson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christian Mahogany at the 90th overall pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They went early on Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 105, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
