Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C
ValueD- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Cardinals, and a C to match.

The Cardinals bet big and early on Omari Thomas, 295 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They banked enough surplus on Zabel to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 16 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jay Higgins
A big swing on Jay Higgins at the 47th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70 Rnd3 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel in the 70th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Omari Thomas
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Omari Thomas. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Alex Mastromanno
They reached a country mile for Alex Mastromanno at Round 5, Pick 14, and the board is aghast. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
