Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals let Nolen fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Walter Nolen, No. 47, roughly 26 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Every board in the league had Conerly Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to pick No. 47, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
They paid sticker price for Barrett Carter in No. 78, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
They barely believed it either: Jalen Milroe still on the board at the 115th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mitchell Evans in the 152nd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane in slot 225 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
