Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueF NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: C+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cardinals reached some 252 spots for Roderick Kearney, and value like that does not grow back. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Concepcion. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Roderick Kearney
A real head-scratcher, Roderick Kearney in slot 53 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Anthony Hill Jr.
They will replay Anthony Hill Jr. at the 65th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114 Rnd4 KC Concepcion
KC Concepcion at Round 4, Pick 14 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Value with a capital V on Jalen Stroman in pick No. 159, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick181 Rnd6 Preston Stone
A big swing on Preston Stone at pick 181, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Denver Harris
Value said wait; Denver Harris in pick 217 says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
