Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
Nobody dealt better than the Cardinals this weekend: B-.

The war room fell hard for Drew Allar, and it showed at Round 3, Pick 5: 78 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Landing Branch that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Good price on Arvell Reese in the 12th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick14 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Emmanuel Pregnon. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq in pick 35 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick36 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
They reached into another round for Derrick Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. is a better player than slot 65 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Blake Miller
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 2, where Blake Miller graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick 67 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at the 68th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick No. 69 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at slot 101 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
The board fumbled Zachariah Branch all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the 104th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick105 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Chris McClellan this early at No. 105. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at pick No. 106 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
They talked themselves into Nadame Tucker at Round 4, Pick 7, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
They read the board right and Ja'Kobi Lane was the payoff at the 108th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at slot 109 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 110 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
This one needs a full-page explanation: DeMonte Capehart in the 111th overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
