Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Cardinals let Gould fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Anthony Gould, the No. 142 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Marvin Harrison Jr. and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Marvin Harrison Jr. at Round 1, Pick 4 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick35 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in slot 35 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick66 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
Taking T'Vondre Sweat in the 66th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at No. 71 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Nice patience on Brandon Dorlus, who had no business lasting to pick 90. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice slid further than he should have, and the 104th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick No. 138 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A reach on Jordan Travis in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dylan Laube
They robbed the room for Dylan Laube here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Anthony Gould
They barely believed it either: Anthony Gould still on the board at pick No. 226. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
