Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a B+, for the Cardinals.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Cardinals spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. The veteran additions, Penei Sewell chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th pick they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Daniels at Round 1, Pick 6, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 35th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick66 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at pick 66 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in No. 121, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in pick No. 141 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Decamerion Richardson
They will replay Decamerion Richardson at slot 208 for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick226 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
Taking Fabien Lovett in No. 226 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
