Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cardinals and Trice: B.

The Cardinals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Bralen Trice fell into slot 66.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while running back and interior defensive lineman went begging. The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry slid further than he should have, and pick No. 35 is lovely value for the cornerback. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick66 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Taking Bralen Trice in pick 66 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 71st pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 27. Running back and interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a cornerback in Khyree Jackson did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in slot 104 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe is a better player than No. 133 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Travis in slot 140. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They went early on Christian Jones in the 188th pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 Omar Speights
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Omar Speights for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
Circle this one: Jared Wiley at pick 227 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
