Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed linebacker, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Reaching for Milton III left real value on the table behind him. Murphy II falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 4 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 27 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Morgan. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the 66th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at Round 3, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 90 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They liked Blake Fisher enough to skip the value, taking him in the 110th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke McCaffrey a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King at pick 140 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick162 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in slot 162 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick186 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They paid up for Joe Milton III at the 186th pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 226th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
