Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D
ValueF NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Cardinals lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

The war room fell hard for Joey Slackman, and it showed at the Round 5 slot: 205 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. Adding Trey Hendrickson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
A big swing on Barrett Carter at the 47th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 78 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
They talked themselves into Pat Bryant at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Joey Slackman
A real head-scratcher, Joey Slackman in Round 5, Pick 14 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at pick 200 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
