Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cardinals a B+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Darius Robinson in the Round 1 slot, a good 94 spots before the room expected him.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Adding Logan Wilson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In slot 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Fair-plus on Adonai Mitchell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Graham Barton
No edge and no loss on Graham Barton in the 48th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in pick 49, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at Round 3, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the 71st pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick105 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in slot 105 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in pick 137 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at Round 6, Pick 13 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick222 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A wild overpay on Joshua Cephus in pick No. 222, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at the 224th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
