Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals won the night they stopped Bell from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Chris Bell had no business being available in the 65th pick, and the Cardinals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Miller reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 David Bailey
They paid sticker price for David Bailey in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick34 Rnd2 Blake Miller
A premium they did not need to pay, Blake Miller a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Chris Bell
They will replay Chris Bell at Round 3, Pick 1 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
