Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+.

The Jalin Conyers pick is the one that will follow the Cardinals into the fall. They took him 145 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The Mondon Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in the 49th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick54 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Bond in pick No. 54, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Donovan Jackson at No. 97. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo slid further than he should have, and the 114th overall pick is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A quiet steal in pick 118: Jared Wilson for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They robbed the room for Lathan Ransom here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick153 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 153rd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Taking Darius Alexander in pick No. 161 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant is a better player than Round 6, Pick 19 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jalin Conyers
They reached a country mile for Jalin Conyers at No. 249, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
