Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B.

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 16 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
They did well to land T.J. Sanders in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
