Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 65 lands the Cardinals a B-, Slaughter and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jake Slaughter at the 65th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a downhill hitter at safety. More want than need.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
A clean, defensible pick in the 34th pick with a little surplus value in Dontay Corleone. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They will replay Jake Slaughter at the 65th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
They let Daylen Everette come to them and pounced at pick No. 104. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick141 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
They paid sticker price for Max Iheanachor in No. 141, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Taylen Green
The board had Taylen Green higher than slot 181, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
No drama and no debate, Hykeem Williams went about where he belonged in pick 217. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
