Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Cardinals put a flag in the ground for Haynes King, 81 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Brailsford falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

So much rides on Ozzy Trapilo that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Ozzy Trapilo
They talked themselves into Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 19, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick51 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Alfred Collins in the 51st overall pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Haynes King
Value said wait; Haynes King in the 83rd pick says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 Dane Key
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dane Key this early at No. 120. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Cody Simon
The board fumbled Cody Simon all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Parker Brailsford
Somehow Parker Brailsford was still sitting there in pick 195, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
