Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureA+
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 33 on Tip Reiman a full 136 spots early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hart. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The veteran additions, Will Levis chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Jared Verse in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38
Rnd2

Pick59
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Sainristil at the 59th overall pick is the proof. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.

Rnd7
Andrew Coker
They reached a country mile for Andrew Coker at slot 242, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
A big swing on Jarrett Kingston at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247
Rnd7
Frank Crum
No drama and no debate, Frank Crum went about where he belonged in No. 247. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249
Rnd7
Andrew Raym
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Andrew Raym well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252
Rnd7
X'Zauvea Gadlin
This one needs a full-page explanation: X'Zauvea Gadlin in Round 7, Pick 32, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
The board fumbled Josh Proctor all the way to the 253rd pick, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
