Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B- to prove it.

The Cardinals spent real capital to be 60 picks early on Jaxson Dart, and the board is going to hold them to it. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Knight Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In slot 16 they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They let Derrick Harmon come to them and pounced at the 47th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at Round 3, Pick 14 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick No. 113 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
