Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 151st pick: the Cardinals steal Mondon Jr. and grade out a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cardinals watched Smael Mondon Jr. slide 52 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Gabriel pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at slot 16 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick47 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden in No. 47 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in pick 78 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They talked themselves into Rylie Mills at Round 4, Pick 12, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
