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

When a board-topper like Cam Hart slides to Round 6, Pick 23, you do not overthink it, and the Cardinals did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The cost of the Rattler reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 2nd pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21 Rnd1 JC Latham
A tidy little value on JC Latham in Round 1, Pick 21, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dallas Turner at slot 34. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Corum at pick 66, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at the 70th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick85 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
The board fumbled Sedrick Van Pran all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
They reached a country mile for Spencer Rattler at No. 102, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
They took Jamari Thrash at par in pick No. 133, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in the 139th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Somehow Jack Nelson was still sitting there in the 169th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cam Hart
You do not let a cornerback like Cam Hart reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick223 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in pick 223 is fair value, right on his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Caden Prieskorn
They read the board right and Caden Prieskorn was the payoff at slot 226. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
