Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B- to prove it.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Parker Brailsford in pick 70, a good 47 spots before the room expected him. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Daniels value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at pick 39 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in No. 70 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels slid further than he should have, and the 106th pick is lovely value for the quarterback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jamon Dumas-Johnson went about where he belonged in pick No. 142. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
