Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Prysock should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ephesians Prysock got past him. The Cardinals do not have to explain a thing at the 217th pick. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will need Thompson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the 3rd pick they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in No. 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick65 Rnd3 Brenen Thompson
They reached into another round for Brenen Thompson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Taurean York
By-the-book stuff, Taurean York at Round 4, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
A straight-up fair deal on Skyler Gill-Howard at pick 143, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183 Rnd6 Albert Regis
They barely believed it either: Albert Regis still on the board at the 183rd overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 Ephesians Prysock
They robbed the room for Ephesians Prysock here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
