Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked 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. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Neal at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a rangy last line of defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
No drama and no debate, Caleb Lomu went about where he belonged in the 39th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Eric Singleton Jr.
Eric Singleton Jr. in the 70th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Julian Neal
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Julian Neal worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
