BH23 DRAFTING FOR THECardinals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals. The Cardinals' one glaring miss is wide receiver, a need they left exactly as they found it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
The Klubnik value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Hobbs has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In pick No. 5 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
By-the-book stuff, Jake Slaughter at pick 36 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cayden Green
Cayden Green in Round 3, Pick 3 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
Cade Klubnik
A slide stopped in the 102nd pick, with Cade Klubnik worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144
Rnd5
Max Iheanachor
They paid sticker price for Max Iheanachor in slot 144, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Sawyer Robertson
They did well to land Sawyer Robertson in the 185th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219
Rnd7
Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
