Draft Grade — Cardinals

ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Murphy II: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Getting Murphy II where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In slot 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Circle this one: Byron Murphy II at No. 35 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They took Jordan Morgan at par in pick No. 36, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the 66th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Wright in the 71st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A clean, defensible pick in the 90th pick with a little surplus value in Jaden Hicks. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
