Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Maye is the plan now, and the Cardinals grade out a D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cardinals, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Everything downstream of Drake Maye depends on Drake Maye, and the building knows it. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Haynes reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Corcoran at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 4 they get a long-term answer under center. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at the 10th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick21 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Leonard Taylor III
By-the-book stuff, Leonard Taylor III at the 35th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 66, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Value with a capital V on Brandon Dorlus in pick No. 71, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A reach on Christian Haynes in No. 72; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Hall Jr.. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 104, where Tykee Smith graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick133 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A slide stopped in the 133rd pick, with Khyree Jackson worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at slot 140 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick188 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A tidy little value on AJ Barner in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Turner Corcoran
Taking Turner Corcoran in the 225th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
The board had Jordan Magee higher than pick 227, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
