Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Cardinals should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Braxton Jones deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 16 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
They did well to land T.J. Sanders in pick 47, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor slipping to Round 3, Pick 14 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
