Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B-.

The Cardinals spent real capital to be 77 picks early on Zion Tupuola-Fetui, and the board is going to hold them to it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Goncalves. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In pick 21 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Mekhi Wingo
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get an anchor for the defensive front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at slot 71 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at pick No. 99 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 104th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
You do not let an offensive lineman like Matt Goncalves reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
A premium they did not need to pay, Javion Cohen a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
Somehow Kris Abrams-Draine was still sitting there in pick No. 140, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick188 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 188th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin slipping to slot 225 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter in Round 7, Pick 7 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
