Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cardinals shredded theirs for Joe Milton III. He came off 30 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Fashanu. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
They paid sticker price for Malik Nabers in pick No. 4, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick27 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 3. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the 66th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 71; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Good price on Patrick Paul in No. 90, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the 104th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138 Rnd5 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at pick 138 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They did well to land Jaylin Simpson in Round 5, Pick 26, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick186 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A real head-scratcher, Joe Milton III in slot 186 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyrice Knight at the Round 7 slot is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
