Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cardinals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
Reaching for Fano left real value on the table behind him. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
In the 3rd pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
No edge and no loss on Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
