Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cardinals lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cardinals did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

If Green pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick13 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick29 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In pick 29 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick65 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
No drama and no debate, Lee Hunter went about where he belonged in the 65th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
By-the-book stuff, Monroe Freeling at the 104th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A wild overpay on Taylen Green in No. 141, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at pick No. 181 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 London Humphreys
London Humphreys in the 217th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
