Overall B-

ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-

The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cardinals started one anyway for Vernon Broughton, 34 picks ahead of schedule. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Dike where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.

In No. 16 they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick47 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams

Value with a capital V on Tyleik Williams in the 47th pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.

Pick78 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger

Carson Schwesinger slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.

Pick115 Rnd4 Chimere Dike

Chimere Dike at pick No. 115 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.

Pick152 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton

Vernon Broughton at Round 5, Pick 14 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
