Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B-.

The Cardinals torched the value chart for Parker Brailsford, taking him 55 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The Allar value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 10th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in Round 2, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Parker Brailsford
They talked themselves into Parker Brailsford at pick No. 72, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Taking Drew Allar in No. 108 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
You do not let a linebacker like Jihaad Campbell reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Azareye'h Thomas
They paid sticker price for Azareye'h Thomas in pick 186, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
