Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA-
Larceny in slot 104 lands the Cardinals a A-, Hall Jr. and all.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Cardinals came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Hall Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Tyjae Spears deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In the end it comes back to Rome Odunze, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 7th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 27 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 JC Latham
You do not let an offensive lineman like JC Latham reach the 35th overall pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick47 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They went early on Braden Fiske in pick 47, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in Round 3, Pick 7, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brandon Dorlus at Round 3, Pick 27. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 Michael Hall Jr.
Circle this one: Michael Hall Jr. at pick 104 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Maason Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Maason Smith at the 106th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
