Overall D-

ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-

The Cardinals bet the future on Daniels. The board says D-.

The Cardinals bet big and early on Michael Barrett, 47 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Alexander at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels

Jayden Daniels in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.

Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze

In slot 10 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick17 Rnd1 Amarius Mims

In the 17th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.

Pick35 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe

This one needs a full-page explanation: Cooper Beebe in No. 35, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.

Pick42 Rnd2 Kalen King

Kalen King in pick 42 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.

Pick67 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran

No drama and no debate, Sedrick Van Pran went about where he belonged in pick No. 67. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Pick73 Rnd3 Blake Corum

Blake Corum at the 73rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.

Pick81 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse

They paid a round early for Nazir Stackhouse in slot 81, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.

Pick103 Rnd4 Rod Moore

Rod Moore at Round 4, Pick 3 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.

Pick133 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.

A reasonable price with a little left over, Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 4 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.

Pick140 Rnd5 Michael Barrett

The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Michael Barrett. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick165 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson

LaDarius Henderson at No. 165 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
