Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 151st pick lands the Cardinals a B-, Stutsman and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Danny Stutsman had no business being available in Round 5, Pick 14, and the Cardinals did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Cross III pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In slot 16 they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick78 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
A premium they did not need to pay, Quinn Ewers a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Howard Cross III. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 151st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
