2026 Cardinals Draft Tracker

Here are all of the picks for the Cardinals and their signing details.

The 2026 Cardinals Draft is completed and here is the tracker of draft picks. This will keep track of who signs and for how much.

Here’s the details on the picks. Every pick in the first 10 rounds has an assigned slot value, with the total for each club’s slot value equaling what it can spend without a penalty. If a player in those rounds does not sign, his slot value gets subtracted from the team’s pool. Any player selected after the 10th round has a slot value of $150,000; anything over will count against the teams pool.

Teams that exceed their bonus pool are penalized. Clubs that exceed their allotment by 0-5% pay a 75% tax on the overage. Between 5-10%, teams lose a future first-round pick and are taxed 75%. Between 10-15%, teams lose a future first- and second-rounder with a 100% tax. Anything over 15% will cost a team 2 first-rounders and 100% tax.

Teams have until July 27 at 4:00 PM CST to sign their picks.

Here’s the details on the tracker…

• Tab A – Team Info: This lists the total picks, percentage sign, and pool information. I’ve added a column to track the amount of taxes a team is projected for pay on overages.
• Tab B – Picks: These are the actual picks with signing details. I’ve added a column for sources this year.
• Tab C – State Demo: A list of what state the player was from; this isn’t where their hometown is, but rather where they played at the last level.
• Tab D – Position Demo: A list of what position all the players were taken from by team; there is a total column to see how many players were taken total from each position.
• Tab E – School Level: This breaks down all the picks by the level of schooling they were selected from. I added info about grade level for college, since this is important for bonuses. Sophomores have more leverage than seniors. 5Y is 5th year seniors and/or graduate students.

A few notes really quick on changes in picks:

• The Cardinals received a Collective Bargaining Round A pick.
• The Cardinals picked up 2 CB-B picks in the Brendan Donovan trade:
  • 2.68: Seattle Mariners
  • 2.72: Tampa Bay Rays

Reports are coming in that the Cardinals have signed 11 of their 23 picks; they also have another that announced he’s returning to Oklahoma State (20.594 Kollin Ritchie). I’ll add notes as more details emerge.

The Cardinals did announce first pick Trevor Condon’s signings with an Instagram Post:
