Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dylan Laube, the No. 157 name on the board, stolen at the 186th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Reaching for Carter left real value on the table behind him. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jared Verse
Jared Verse in slot 4 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A slide stopped in No. 35, with Troy Fautanu worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They read the board right and Payton Wilson was the payoff at the 66th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at pick 71 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Nice patience on Renardo Green, who had no business lasting to pick No. 90. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick104 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 4 is lovely value for the cornerback. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at slot 138 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ainias Smith in the 162nd pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dylan Laube
They will replay Dylan Laube at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
