Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cardinals bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cardinals shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Igbinosun left real value on the table behind him.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 5 they get a workhorse for the backfield. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In No. 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
No edge and no loss on Olaivavega Ioane in the 45th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Carson Beck
They paid up for Carson Beck at pick No. 94 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
No drama and no debate, Zachariah Branch went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 6. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 144th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick219 Rnd7 Barion Brown
A straight-up fair deal on Barion Brown at pick 219, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
