Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cardinals: B-.

The Cardinals put a flag in the ground for Barion Brown, 24 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Jagusah value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Deontae Lawson
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Blake Miller
Fair-plus on Blake Miller, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 David Bailey
David Bailey in No. 81 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at slot 117 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156 Rnd5 Barion Brown
A real head-scratcher, Barion Brown in Round 5, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 J.Michael Sturdivant
A straight-up fair deal on J.Michael Sturdivant at pick No. 195, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in No. 230. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
