Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 5, Pick 14 lands the Cardinals a B-, Lacy and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kyren Lacy at slot 153 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Turner to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in pick No. 47 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in No. 78 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick114 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
They went early on Shemar Turner in the 114th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
They barely believed it either: Kyren Lacy still on the board at pick 153. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
