Draft Grade — Cardinals

The Cardinals let Kiser fall and pounced. Final grade: B-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Jack Kiser tumbling to the Cardinals in the 225th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
If Lampkin pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 16 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jack Bech
Jack Bech in pick No. 47 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Danny Stutsman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at Round 4, Pick 13 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Willie Lampkin in the 152nd overall pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in pick 225 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
