Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Larceny in the 224th overall pick lands the Cardinals a B+, McGlothern and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dwight McGlothern, the 224th pick, roughly 49 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots went begging. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 27 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
By-the-book stuff, Keon Coleman at No. 35 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, T'Vondre Sweat in the 66th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 90 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick137 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Jones. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 161st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
They barely believed it either: Tykee Smith still on the board at pick No. 188. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jaden Crumedy
No drama and no debate, Jaden Crumedy went about where he belonged in the 222nd overall pick. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick224 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tip Reiman
They read the board right and Tip Reiman was the payoff at the 241st pick. It fills a real need, too.
