Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Back to the drawing board for the Cardinals: D+.

Nobody else had Evan Prater anywhere near pick 151. The Cardinals did, by 334 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

The Ramsey steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Amari Kight
Amari Kight at pick No. 16 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
No edge and no loss on Josh Conerly Jr. in slot 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jalin Conyers
They talked themselves into Jalin Conyers at the 78th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick114 Rnd4 Kamari Ramsey
They barely believed it either: Kamari Ramsey still on the board at the Round 4 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151 Rnd5 Evan Prater
Evan Prater at the 151st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
