Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall
B-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: 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.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In slot 4 they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Barrett Carter
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Barrett Carter. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at Round 3, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
