Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-

NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cardinals found their guy under center in Pratt: B-. The Michael Pratt pick is the one that will follow the Cardinals into the fall. They took him 75 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.
Michael Pratt gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want.
They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In slot 4 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Michael Pratt
In No. 27 they get the arm they will build around, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 35th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
