Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B+

NeedB+

FutureB+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 162 on Zion Logue a full 124 spots early.
They banked enough surplus on Carson to cover a lot of smaller sins. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The Devin White pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They did well to land Tyler Guyton in Round 2, Pick 3, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick55
Rnd2
Jonah Elliss
They talked themselves into Jonah Elliss at pick 55, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
They reached a country mile for Mekhi Wingo at No. 66, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 71st overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 87th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104
Rnd4
Trey Benson
Trey Benson is a better player than the 104th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138
Rnd5
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the 138th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick158
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Beau Brade in slot 158 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick161
Rnd5
Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162
Rnd5
Zion Logue
Zion Logue at pick No. 162 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
Fair-plus on Marist Liufau, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
They paid up for Ty'Ron Hopper at No. 172 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick184
Rnd6
Michael Pratt
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Michael Pratt in pick 184, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
Taking Jase McClellan in pick No. 226 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
