Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
Sayin is the plan now, and the Cardinals grade out a B+.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Cardinals committed. Julian Sayin is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Matthews reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Pieper.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Julian Sayin
They paid sticker price for Julian Sayin in pick No. 6, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Seaton
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ahmad Hardy
Ahmad Hardy at pick 34 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Steal is underselling it; Kade Pieper at No. 65 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Mike Matthews
Mike Matthews at Round 4, Pick 4 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jayden Jackson
A tidy bit of business in slot 141, where Jayden Jackson graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181 Rnd6 Drew Bobo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Drew Bobo in the 181st pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd7 C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite at the 217th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
