Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Cardinals put a flag in the ground for Daevin Hobbs, 53 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Getting Haulcy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
Francis Mauigoa at pick No. 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick34 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen in pick 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A safety of that caliber at the 69th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
A quiet steal in No. 104: Ja'Kobi Lane for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Taylen Green
They reached into another round for Taylen Green, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ephesians Prysock this early at Round 5, Pick 27. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They robbed the room for Ar'maj Reed-Adams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Daevin Hobbs in the 217th overall pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Jatta in No. 244, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
