Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals did enough to get by: C-.

The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Jake Smith, 275 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out a thoroughly average C-.

However the rest shakes out, Mbow at that price is a win they earned. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Ollie Gordon II
A real head-scratcher, Ollie Gordon II in No. 16 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick47 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. at Round 2, Pick 15 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick78 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nazir Stackhouse this early at the 78th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jake Smith
A wild overpay on Jake Smith in pick No. 115, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Marcus Mbow
Circle this one: Marcus Mbow at pick 225 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
