Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 151st pick lands the Cardinals a B, Majors and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cardinals watched Jake Majors slide 60 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Offensive lineman 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
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 16th overall pick they get a load in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A slide stopped in slot 47, with Tyler Booker worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in No. 113, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 151 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
