Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jaylin Noel; the Cardinals did not wait, grabbing him 49 spots ahead at the 47th pick.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. That Huzzie pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick No. 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
Value said wait; Jaylin Noel in slot 47 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Fair-plus on Marcus Mbow, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They paid sticker price for Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at the 115th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
They will replay Alijah Huzzie at Round 7, Pick 9 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
