Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cardinals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

They are betting Kandra proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Giddens pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a three-down second-level presence. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in the 49th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 115 with a little surplus value in Anthony Belton. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Will Howard
Nice patience on Will Howard, who had no business lasting to pick 117. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
A reach for Jamaree Caldwell in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at slot 122 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at the 152nd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at No. 191 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
A quiet steal in pick 225: R.J. Mickens for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
