Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
The Cardinals robbed the room for Moore. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Malachi Moore got past him. The Cardinals do not have to explain a thing at the 198th pick.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Estime has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 3rd overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Fair-plus on Chop Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick35 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton slid further than he should have, and No. 35 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
They did well to land Byron Murphy II in pick No. 73, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James at slot 81 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They read the board right and Christian Haynes was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 36. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Audric Estime
A reach for Audric Estime in the 103rd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 133 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Khyree Jackson at No. 140. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tre Harris
No edge and no loss on Tre Harris in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at pick 198 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick224 Rnd7 Omar Speights
No drama and no debate, Omar Speights went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 4. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
A quiet steal in the 227th overall pick: De'Corian Clark for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
