Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with DJ Uiagalelei at No. 151, a reach of 114 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Williams steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick 16 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
They took Xavier Restrepo at par in No. 47, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
The board fumbled Tyleik Williams all the way to pick No. 78, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Vernon Broughton in Round 4, Pick 12, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 DJ Uiagalelei
They left a pile of value on the table to take DJ Uiagalelei this early at the 151st overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
