Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureD
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Cardinals: C+.

The Shaun Dolac pick is the one that will follow the Cardinals into the fall. They took him 169 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Loveland. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 24th pick they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28 Rnd1 Donovan Ezeiruaku
In No. 28 they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Steal is underselling it; Kenneth Grant at slot 47 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick48 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at pick 48 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A wild overpay on Maxwell Hairston in the 49th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to pick No. 78, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kyle Kennard at Round 3, Pick 15. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slipping to slot 81 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in No. 89 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard at pick No. 97 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Colston Loveland in pick 114, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Isaiah Bond
Taking Isaiah Bond in the 122nd pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in the 126th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Connor Colby
They reached a country mile for Connor Colby at Round 4, Pick 32, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in slot 136 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd4 Shaun Dolac
They talked themselves into Shaun Dolac at pick No. 137, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
