Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B.

Some picks age like wine; Matthew Jones at the 226th overall pick will need to, sitting 33 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick27 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In No. 27 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in pick 35 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at the 66th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Michael Hall Jr. in Round 3, Pick 7, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick No. 90 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A curious use of the 104th overall pick. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
A wild overpay on Cedric Johnson in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at No. 186 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at slot 226 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
