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

Everything else got attention, and offensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft.

Smith at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In the 8th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at pick No. 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick70 Rnd3 Miller Moss
Miller Moss at the 70th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Donovan Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Donovan Smith at pick 106 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Elic Ayomanor
They did well to land Elic Ayomanor in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler slipping to No. 178 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
