Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
A-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA-
The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Cisse: A-. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Cardinals came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
Lawrence has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Woods pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
The Cisse pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In No. 20 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In pick No. 21 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In the 22nd pick they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34
Rnd2
Chase Bisontis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Chase Bisontis well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick35
Rnd2
Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence in the 35th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38
Rnd2
Ty Simpson
Value with a capital V on Ty Simpson in pick 38, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at the 40th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick41
Rnd2
Omar Cooper Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 41 with a little surplus value in Omar Cooper Jr.. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick42
Rnd2
Peter Woods
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 42 on Peter Woods with tight end unsolved.
Pick47
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58
Rnd2
Brandon Cisse
The board fumbled Brandon Cisse all the way to the 58th pick, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick65
Rnd3
Christen Miller
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christen Miller in Round 3, Pick 1. A need, and now a little less of one.
