Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Dixon: D-.

The Cardinals lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. The Robinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Dixon falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick66 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jermaine Burton at slot 66. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Nice patience on Javon Bullard, who had no business lasting to No. 71. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine slipping to the 90th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick104 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Caelen Carson in pick 104 leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick138 Rnd5 McKinnley Jackson
A slide stopped in pick No. 138, with McKinnley Jackson worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Layden Robinson at the 162nd overall pick, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Nothing to complain about; Isaiah Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Johnny Dixon in Round 7, Pick 6, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
