Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Cardinals found their guy under center in Maye: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cardinals shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

The whole projection now runs through Drake Maye; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 4 they get a franchise quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 25 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
The board had Amarius Mims higher than the 35th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Worthy in pick No. 58. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Edgerrin Cooper for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No drama and no debate, Sedrick Van Pran went about where he belonged in slot 71. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in the 90th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Nice patience on Caelen Carson, who had no business lasting to pick 106. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They will replay Jarrian Jones at No. 162 for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick164 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
The board fumbled Mason McCormick all the way to the 164th overall pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in slot 186 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All at Round 7, Pick 6 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
