Draft Grade — Cardinals

FutureB-
The Cardinals let Solomon fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Javon Solomon, the 133rd overall pick, roughly 25 picks past where he belonged.
Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with quarterback, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In slot 28 they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick66
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
They did well to land T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 66, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
Nothing to complain about; Marist Liufau went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick 93 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at the 104th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick133
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick140
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tommy Eichenberg in the 140th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at slot 188 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick227
Rnd7
Tanor Bortolini
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tanor Bortolini at the Round 7 slot is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
