Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureD-
The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Nugent: C.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Drake Nugent, the Round 7 slot, roughly 22 picks past where he belonged.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. With quarterback and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. The All pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In No. 13 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 32 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
No drama and no debate, Jordan Morgan went about where he belonged in pick 35. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in Round 2, Pick 10 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They took Kris Jenkins at par in pick No. 48, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Fair-plus on Bralen Trice, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
They paid a round early for Brandon Dorlus in the 71st pick, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A tidy bit of business in the 95th pick, where Blake Corum graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Dadrion Taylor-Demerson while clear needs at quarterback and interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick112 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in pick No. 112, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
No edge and no loss on Trevor Keegan in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker slid further than he should have, and No. 159 is lovely value for the tight end. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Nice patience on Justin Eboigbe, who had no business lasting to the 162nd overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
The board had Kitan Oladapo higher than Round 5, Pick 31, and the safety fell to them anyway. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dwight McGlothern at pick 173 is the proof. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick186 Rnd6 Erick All
They liked Erick All enough to skip the value, taking him in the 186th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They read the board right and Curtis Jacobs was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 33. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at No. 226 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
