Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cardinals a B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 4 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 27 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
