Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Cardinals kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Cardinals never got to the one that mattered most. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

On value alone, Newton makes the weekend a net positive. Tampa has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 11th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 23rd overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They paid a round early for T.J. Tampa in pick 35, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Nice patience on Payton Wilson, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 2. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaden Hicks in pick No. 90. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick103 Rnd4 Javon Baker
The board had Javon Baker higher than No. 103, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy slipping to slot 104 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
