Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 200 on Power Echols a full 47 spots early.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Brown. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In slot 8 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Trevor Etienne
They talked themselves into Trevor Etienne at No. 40, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72 Rnd3 Barion Brown
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Barion Brown at the 72nd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the 104th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd5 Brennan Presley
Brennan Presley in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at pick No. 168, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd7 Power Echols
Power Echols at Round 7, Pick 8 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
