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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jahdae Barron, pick 153, roughly 141 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 16 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Mike Green
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Mike Green in pick 47, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Will Campbell
Will Campbell at the 78th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in Round 4, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
