Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B.

The Cardinals clearly saw something nobody else did in Audric Estime, taking him 30 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Nubin where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 3 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick17 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 17 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Nubin in Round 2, Pick 3. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
They did well to land Cooper DeJean in the 67th pick, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 73 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They reached into another round for Audric Estime, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
