Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Cardinals walked right past. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Landing Elarms-Orr that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If Daniels pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the 3rd overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse at pick 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jake Slaughter at pick No. 65 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith at Round 4, Pick 4 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick143 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
A clean, defensible pick in slot 143 with a little surplus value in CJ Daniels. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Nice patience on Kaleb Elarms-Orr, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
A conviction pick on Jalon Daniels at the 217th pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
