Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals let Fannin Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cardinals watched Harold Fannin Jr. slide 27 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The TeSlaa pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Simmons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell is a better player than slot 47 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Phillips in the 115th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at Round 5, Pick 14 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A reach for Isaac TeSlaa in No. 225; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
