Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That Latu pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Reaching for Thomas Jr. left real value on the table behind him. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 11 they get a home-run threat at receiver, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In No. 23 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 27th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
