Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Noel: B+.

Call it larceny. Jaylin Noel sat on the board until the 125th overall pick, and the Cardinals did not need to be asked twice.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

The Junior Colson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalon Walker. It fills a real need, too.
Pick47 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at slot 47 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 23, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A clean, defensible pick in the 78th overall pick with a little surplus value in Omarr Norman-Lott. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A tidy little value on Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 115, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick No. 125 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick181 Rnd6 CJ West
A straight-up fair deal on CJ West at the 181st pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Nice patience on Kyle Monangai, who had no business lasting to slot 225. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
