Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC-
The Cardinals robbed the room for Johnson. Final grade: B+.

The Cardinals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kaleb Johnson, the No. 39 name on the board, in the Round 3 slot.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Quenton Nelson gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at Round 2, Pick 15 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Kaleb Johnson at the 78th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
