Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
The Cardinals found their guy under center in Gabriel: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cardinals took Kyren Lacy at No. 104, roughly 67 spots before his name belonged. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They have staked the next five years on Dillon Gabriel, which is the only story that really matters here. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Dillon Gabriel
In slot 30 they get their guy under center for the next decade, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in pick No. 62 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in No. 72 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in the 94th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
They reached a country mile for Kyren Lacy at pick 104, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
Nothing to complain about; Aireontae Ersery went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd5 Tonka Hemingway
A premium they did not need to pay, Tonka Hemingway a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in pick No. 168 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd7 Jay Toia
Jay Toia at pick 200 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
