Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 138 lands the Cardinals a B, Shipley and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Will Shipley, Round 5, Pick 2, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 27 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They did well to land Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick No. 66, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the 71st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick 90 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Nice patience on Bucky Irving, who had no business lasting to the 104th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd5 Will Shipley
Circle this one: Will Shipley at slot 138 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaiah Davis in Round 5, Pick 26. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in the 186th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
