Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cardinals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but AJ Green at Round 5, Pick 9 is 39 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. It is not that Stone is a bad player; it is that the Cardinals had louder needs to answer first.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Stone.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jordan Seaton
Jordan Seaton at No. 17 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 David Stone
A want over a need in the 44th overall pick: David Stone adds an interior defensive lineman while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ashton Hampton
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Ashton Hampton while clear needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots sat open.
Pick75 Rnd3 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
They reached into another round for Quincy Rhodes Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Raylen Wilson adds a linebacker and leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots untouched.
Pick147 Rnd5 AJ Green
AJ Green in the 147th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at slot 189 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Tavion Gadson
A wild overpay on Tavion Gadson in pick No. 227, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kamari Wilson
They read the board right and Kamari Wilson was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
