Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Berger: C-.

The phones were a trap the Cardinals kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.

On value alone, Berger makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

So much rides on Dallas Turner that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In No. 4 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Value with a capital V on Dallas Turner in pick No. 26, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Guyton at slot 35, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
By-the-book stuff, Mekhi Wingo at the 66th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Johnny Dixon in the Round 4 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A quiet steal in the 140th pick: Cedric Gray for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Nice patience on Javon Baker, who had no business lasting to slot 188. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jalen Berger
Somehow Jalen Berger was still sitting there in No. 225, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter in the 227th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
