Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals won the night they stopped McCord from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Cardinals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kyle McCord fell into the Round 5 slot. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Zabel reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In slot 16 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A clean, defensible pick in the 47th overall pick with a little surplus value in Tyleik Williams. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in No. 78 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at pick No. 152 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
