Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall

FutureB
The Cardinals turned the phones into found money: B+. The real work happened on the phones. The Cardinals fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Darren Waller deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers in slot 6 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick27
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In the 27th pick they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in No. 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in the 47th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
