Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cardinals for Virgil: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Reggie Virgil, the 181st overall pick, roughly 21 picks past where he belonged.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the 3rd overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick65 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II in Round 3, Pick 1 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 104. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
By-the-book stuff, DeMonte Capehart at pick 141 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181 Rnd6 Reggie Virgil
Somehow Reggie Virgil was still sitting there in pick No. 181, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
No edge and no loss on Thaddeus Dixon in No. 217; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
