Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureB
The Cardinals let Prather fall into their laps, and walked away with a C+.

The Cardinals lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. On value alone, Prather makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
No drama and no debate, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. went about where he belonged in the 35th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in the 36th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 66 on Denzel Burke with quarterback unsolved.
Pick67 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A straight-up fair deal on Mekhi Wingo at slot 67, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 3, Pick 7 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A want over a need in the 89th pick: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick104 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in No. 104, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 140 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at slot 188 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
They will replay Kaden Prather at pick 225 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Omar Speights
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omar Speights. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
