Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Klein should have been long gone. The Cardinals pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Marlin Klein, the No. 160 name on the board, stolen at Round 6, Pick 2.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
Rueben Bain Jr. at the 3rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Peter Woods
Peter Woods in Round 2, Pick 2 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
They paid sticker price for Zachariah Branch in pick No. 65, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 De'Zhaun Stribling
A clean, defensible pick in slot 104 with a little surplus value in De'Zhaun Stribling. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick 143 is lovely value for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 Marlin Klein
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Kendrick Law
They robbed the room for Kendrick Law here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
