Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-.

The Cardinals bet big and early on David Ugwoegbu, 125 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They banked enough surplus on Odunze to cover a lot of smaller sins. It is not that Tampa is a bad player; it is that the Cardinals had louder needs to answer first.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 4 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 27 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in pick No. 35 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick66 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Value with a capital V on Malachi Corley in the 66th pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on T.J. Tampa with running back and tight end unsolved.
Pick91 Rnd3 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at Round 3, Pick 28 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cam Hart adds a cornerback and leaves running back and tight end untouched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the 127th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in Round 5, Pick 2 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaden Crumedy
Value said wait; Jaden Crumedy in No. 169 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186 Rnd6 David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu at pick 186 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nathaniel Watson in the 219th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
By-the-book stuff, Tylan Grable at slot 226 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Andrew Raym
A big swing on Andrew Raym at pick No. 247, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
