Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Ben Sinnott at slot 71, a reach of 59 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Vaki. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 4th pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In slot 27 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 3 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in pick No. 66 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They let Cade Stover come to them and pounced at pick 90. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Nice patience on Javon Baker, who had no business lasting to No. 104. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in pick 138 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dallin Holker at slot 162. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the 186th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick226 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Frank Gore Jr.. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
